The aliens will continue to invade in 2013.
Following Skies fans can breathe a sigh of relief, TNT has ordered a third season of the hit show, from DreamWorks Television and executive producer Steven Spielberg. The critically acclaimed sci-fi series, starring Noah Wyle, will return in 2013 with 10 new episodes.
"Falling Skies is television storytelling at its very best, a powerful drama that's told on both an epic scale and on a deeply personal level," said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). "With all the memorable and surprising moments taking place during the second season of Falling Skies, we can't wait to see what DreamWorks Television and Falling Skies' terrific production team and cast members have in store for season three."
TNT's announcement comes on the heels of a cast appearance at San Diego Comic-Con. Series stars Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton, Drew Roy, Connor Jessup, Colin Cunningham and Sarah Carter, along with executive producer Remi Aubuchon, will join moderator Wil Wheaton for a panel session on Friday, July 13, at 4:30 p.m. (PT) in room 6BCF at the San Diego Convention Center.
