Travelers fans, rejoice! Netflix's sci-fi sleeper hit will be back for a third season…

Netflix makes loads of its own original sci-fi series – a new one appearing almost daily, it feels like at times – and most of them are marketed with a big splash of cash. Others, it acquires from networks elsewhere and exposes to a huge new audience. They usually take longer to build up a base, but when they do, the fans are devoted and locked in for the long haul. The Good Place is one of those kinds of successes, and another fine example is Travelers, which Netflix also produces by dipping into its international budget.

Indeed, the time-bending drama comes to Netflix from a Canadian channel called Showcase, where the ratings are decent enough. But on Netflix, they’re growing by the day. Not a week goes by that we don’t hear of someone new being sucked into a binge watch of the series and becoming an instant champion for its continuing success, and if you’re one of them (one of us, one of us, one of us) you’ll be absolutely delighted to hear that a third season has been given the go-ahead.

The Will of Will & Grace, Eric McCormack, will return to the role of Grant MacLaren for season 3, and we’re biting our fingernails waiting to see where things will go from that rather-too-cliffhanger-y season 2 finale. At least, we’re relieved to find out that we won’t be left hanging.

More as we have it.

Travelers season 3 release date

Production on the third season will get underway this month, so we could realistically have Travelers back on Netflix UK by Christmas. 

Happy days!
