Third season of “Humans” debuts on AMC

Humans returns for its third season on September 17, at 11:30 pm, at AMC.

The series offers an exciting insight into the evolution of technology and its effects on society. With eight episodes, the new season unfolds on an even greater scale. Developed by Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley (“Spooks”, “Spooks: The Greater Good”), the series is set in a parallel gift and explores what happens when the boundaries between humans and machines become blurred. Mark Bonnar (“Catastrophe”, “Apple Tree Yard”) joins the regular actors in the series Gemma Chan (Captain Marvel,Rotten Rich), Katherine Parkinson (“The Honorable Woman”, “The IT Crowd”), Tom Goodman-Hill (“Mr. Selfridge”, The Imitation Game), Emily Berrington (“24: Live Another Day”, “The Inbetweeners 2”), Colin Morgan ("Merlin", "The Fall"), Ivanno Jeremiah (“Black Mirror”, “Doctor Who”) and Ruth Bradley (“Grabbers”, “Pursuit”).

A year after gaining consciousness, a synthesized and oppressed population of Synths struggles to survive in a world that hates and fears them. In a divided Britain, Synths and humans struggle to establish an uncomfortable peace, but when divisions within the Synth community begin to appear, all hope of stability is threatened. Starting from the turmoil of political chaos, the ethical complexities of the dawn of a new species unfold through an exciting multifaceted narrative. While the Synth family - Mia (Chan), Niska (Berrington) and Max (Jeremiah) continue to fight for their right to survive, Joe (Goodman-Hill), Laura (Parkinson) and their children Mattie (Lucy Carless), Toby (Theo Stevenson) and Sophie (Pixie Davies) struggle to accept last season's cataclysmic events.
