Syfy renews 'Killjoys' and 'Dark Matter' for third seasons

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Syfy says it has ordered third seasons of its space-action dramas Killjoys and Dark Matter, which are both currently wrapping up their sophomore outings.

Starring Hannah John-Kamen, Aaron Ashmore and Luke Macfarlane, Killjoys follows a trio of "interplanetary bounty hunters sworn to remain impartial as they chase deadly warrants throughout the Quad, a distant system on the brink of a bloody, multi-planetary, class war," a synopsis from the cable network said.

The small-screen, graphic-novel adaptation Dark Matter "centers on a crew who awaken on a derelict spaceship with no memories of who they are or how they got there."

"Facing threats at every turn, they have to work together to survive a voyage fueled by vengeance, betrayal and hidden secrets," Syfy summarized.

The series features Melissa O'Neil, Anthony Lemke, Alex Mallari Jr., Jodelle Ferland, Roger Cross and Zoie Palmer.
