Showrunner Terry Matalas teases this year’s time-travel shenanigans in 12 Monkeys.
Time is running out for the human race in 12 Monkeys, the TV series inspired by the Terry Gilliam movie about a plague that wipes out the majority of mankind. In 2043, a group of scientists, led by Dr Jones (Barbara Sukowa) recruited scavenger James Cole (Aaron Stanford) to “splinter” back in time, prevent the enigmatic organisation known as the Army of the 12 Monkeys from unleashing a deadly virus, and somehow save the future – a mission made all the more difficult by the fact that each attempt to alter the past creates new obstacles and dangers.
Season two ended with the shocking bombshell that the Army of the 12 Monkeys’ mysterious leader, the Witness, is actually the adult child of Cole and virologist Cassie (Amanda Schul). So when 12 Monkeys returns for its third season, the stakes have never been higher – or more personal – for Team Splinter.
“Months after the finale, Cole has been scouring the future looking for Cassie,” executive producer Terry Matalas tells Red Alert. “Cassie has been spending a lot of time with the Army of the 12 Monkeys.”
Cole’s initial concerns unsurprisingly surround Cassie’s immediate whereabouts and safety. However, there’s still the Army of the 12 Monkeys’ impending apocalypse to thwart.

Making Alien - Jaws in Space - Forty-five years on from its original release, Alien continues to terrify. We dissect what arguably remains the most chilling instalment in the saga
The seven-strong crew of the commercial mining spacecraft the Nostromo seal their fate after reluctantly responding to a mysterious distress signal on a hostile planet. Here, a face-hugging alien from a derelict ship impregnates and later kills executive officer Kane (John Hurt) after its offspring is birthed onboard. After being unleashed, the fearsome newborn with acid for blood proceeds to dispatch the remainder of the crew.Ridley Scott's much more convoluted prequels have yet to reveal how the knowledge that led to this initial interception was acquired. However, the premise of the original Alien is perfect in its uncomplicated purity.
