Production Begins On Channel 4/AMC’s ‘Humans’ Season 3
Get ready to get your synth on… Channel 4 and AMC confirmed today that filming on the 3rd season of Kudos (‘Apple Tree Yard’, ‘Broadchurch’) produced, critically acclaimed series ‘Humans‘ has commenced.
With writers Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley leading the writing team, the series is set in a parallel present and explores what happens when the lines between humans and machines are blurred. The 8-episode 3rd series is due to air in 2018 on Channel 4.
Joining the cast this season is ‘Catastrophe’ and ‘Apple Tree Yard’ star Mark Bonnar, who will play Neil Sommer. An intriguingly charming scientist on a government commission with whom Laura (Katherine Parkinson) develops a strong personal connection. He joins series regulars Gemma Chan, Tom Goodman-Hill, Emily Berrington, Colin Morgan, Ivanno Jeremiah and Ruth Bradley.
One year after the dawn of consciousness, a decimated and oppressed Synth population fights to survive in a world that hates and fears them. In a divided Britain, Synths and Humans struggle to broker an uneasy peace, but when fractures within the Synth community itself start to appear, all hope of stability is threatened.
Set against the maelstrom of political chaos, the ethical complexities of the dawn of a new species play out across a thrilling multi-stranded narrative. As the synth family, Mia (Chan), Niska (Berrington) and Max (Jeremiah) continue to battle for their right to survival, Joe (Goodman-Hill) Laura and their children Mattie (Lucy Carless), Toby (Theo Stevenson) and Sophie (Pixie Davies) struggle to come to terms with the cataclysmic events of the last series and their deeply polarised views on the implications of the singularity.
Humans 3 provides a thrilling look at the evolution of technology and its effect on society; timely and relevant, the new season unfolds on a bigger scale than ever before, in a deeply divided Britain, and continues to ask the question, are sentient synths entitled to be treated as human?
‘Humans’ is written by Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley (‘Spooks: The Greater Good’), Debbie O’Malley, Namsi Khan, Jonathan Harbottle, Melissa Iqbal and Daisy Coulam. It is based on the award-winning Swedish sci-fi drama ‘Real Humans’ created by Lars Lundstrom and produced by SVT and Matador Film.
‘Humans‘ Season 3 will air on Channel 4 in 2018.
