Feb. 4 (UPI) -- Season 3 of the sci-fi series Zoo has begun shooting.

"Zoo fans, production has begun on Season 3, coming this summer. What are you looking forward to seeing in the new season?" the show said in a Facebook post this week. The message accompanied a photo from the show's set, which featured director's chairs with Zoo emblazoned on the back.

Based on the novel by James Patterson, the show is a global thriller about a wave of violent animal attacks against humans. It star James Wolk, Kristen Connolly, Nonso Anozie and Billy Burke.
