What can we expect from series three?

At the end of series two, every synth in the world was given consciousness, essentially creating a new species on Earth. The consequences of that are felt by both synths and humans in the third series, which starts a year after “the dawn of consciousness”.

Who's in the cast?

Colin Morgan returns as human/synth hybrid Leo Elster, despite being left brain damaged at the end of the last episode, and is joined by fellow synths Max (Ivanno Jeremiah), Anita/Mia (Gemma Chan), and Niska (Emily Berrington), as well as human Laura Hawkins (Katherine Parkinson), who looks set to continue championing their rights.
