Syfy greenlit another 13 episodes of the hour-long drama, which is scheduled to begin filming in Vancouver in February ahead of a fall-2018 premiere. The renewal comes in time for the season-two finale, which airs on Thursday, Jan. 4.
In Canada, Quebec pay TV channel Super Ecran has also picked up the third season of the show. Outside of Quebec, season two is set to begin streaming on Netflix (Canada) on Jan. 19.
