"Returning one year after the dawn of consciousness, a decimated and oppressed Synth population fights to survive in a world that hates and fears them. In a divided Britain, Synths and humans struggle to broker an uneasy peace, but when fractures within the Synth community itself start to appear, all hope of stability comes under threat," reads a press release for the show's third installment.
The eight-episode third season of "Humans" premieres 2018 on AMC. An exact release date has yet to be announced by the network.
