Despite the not so good ratings, Syfy has decided to renew 12 Monkeys for a
10-episode third season.
"This season of 12 Monkeys has proven to be a
breakthrough," says Jeff Wachtel, chief content officer of NBC Universal
Cable Entertainment and president of Universal Cable Productions. "From
its epic storytelling to its grand aesthetic, Terry and the cast and crew have
invested boundless energy and passion, and it showed. New legions of fans will
discover what devoted viewers already know: It’s one of the best shows on
television."
Based on Terry Gilliam's 1995 cult film of the same name, the series
follows time traveler James Cole (Aaron Stanford) and virologist Cassandra
Railly (Amanda Schull) as they fight to prevent the release of a deadly plague
from the Army of the 12 Monkeys and discover the terrorist group's true
motivation.
"In two short seasons, 12 Monkeys has become a cult favorite
series," adds Chris McCumber, president, entertainment networks.
"Terry and the cast and crew have brought to life a rich world not
confined by boundaries of time, with multi-dimensional characters whose
motivations for saving the world are deeply personal and intensely relatable.
It’s exactly the type of smart, on-the-edge-of-your-seat entertainment we want
to bring to Syfy viewers."
Also starring Kirk Acevedo, Barbara Sukowa, Emily Hampshire, and Todd
Stashwick, the third season of 12 Monkeys is expected to premiere in 2017.
