12 MONKEYS Renewed for a Fourth and Final Season by Syfy
The third season of 12 MONKEYS hasn’t premiered yet, but Syfy has renewed the show for a fourth season. Here’s the catch, however: season 4 will be the show’s last.
In addition, Syfy has announced that season 3 of 12 MONKEYS will premiere on May 19 and the show will air its entire 10 episode third season over the span of 3 days — four episodes will air on May 19 and then three episodes each will air on the next two nights.
“12 MONKEYS has a dedicated and enthusiastic fan-base thanks to the epic storytelling by Terry Matalas, and the stellar cast and crew,” said Jeff Wachtel, president and chief content officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment. “We are thrilled to be able to offer fans an opportunity to binge the third season as a reward for their lasting support, and we couldn’t be more excited to see where Terry takes us with the final chapter of this fabulous story in the fourth season.”
Season 4 will also consist of 10 episodes but it likely won’t premiere until 2018.

THE 100 Sneak Peek: Clarke and Roan Defend Mankind’s Last Chance for Survival
The pressure to survive the coming nuclear apocalypse is mounting, and in this week’s new episode of THE 100 we’ll see if Skaikru can rise to the occasion. But in the meantime, it seems like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong so far.
First, their plan to get a hydro-generator and create water wasn’t successful. Then they thought they’d have six months to come up with another solution, but people are already starting to suffer from radiation sickness. They’ve also lost the flame, their bargaining chip to keep King Roan (Zach McGowan) and the Grounders at bay. Instead, Roan has declared war on Skaikru. And just as Clarke (Eliza Taylor) and Roan came to an agreement last week to share safe haven at Arkadia, their beloved ship is burned to the ground.
To make matters worse, Raven (Lindsey Morgan) and Abby (Paige Turco), who are searching for a cure on Becca’s island, have both suddenly become sick from ALIE’s chip. But the fight must go on! On Wednesday’s episode, titled “We Will Rise,” Clarke and Roan will need to work together in hostile territory to deliver the last ten barrels of explosive hydrazine to Abby. They’ll travel over rough terrain with Bellamy (Bob Morley) in tow for the survival of all mankind.
Meanwhile on Becca’s island, Raven isn’t having much luck either, running simulation after simulation to try and take a rocket back to what’s left of the Ark. There they hope to be able to recreate Becca’s experiments and make Nightblood in zero gravity. She’ll only have 75% fuel to make it, and so far all Raven can do is crash and burn.
Check out some sneak peeks from the new episode below. THE 100 airs tonight (March 15) at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
FX Renews LEGION For Season 2
FX has ordered a second season of LEGION, the new Marvel Comics series about David Haller, a man diagnosed as a schizophrenic but who may actually be more than human.

Our thanks to Noah Hawley for taking the creative risks and shattering expectations.

Episode 6 of LEGION airs tonight (March 15) at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on FX.
