Falling Skies third season gets a premiere date
The new season of TNT’s alien invasion series is on its way, and today the U.S. cable network announced the show’s premiere date.
Season Three of Falling Skies will have a 2-hour premiere on Sunday, June 9 (9/8c). The following week it will move to its regular time slot at 10/9c.
Falling Skies follows Tom Mason (Noah Wyle, ER) and the 2nd Mass, a group of resistance fighters and civilians who are fighting against a devastating alien invasion of Earth. Season Two concluded with a big victory against the invaders and the shocking arrival of a new player on the scene - a previously unseen, advanced alien race that may be an enemy of the hostile invaders.

Click to view"Falling Skies" season 3 may not premiere until mid-June (assuming it follows what it did for the first two seasons), but on Sunday, March 17, RedCarpetNewsTV posted a new video interview with series star Connor Jessup from MCM Comic Con.
When "Falling Skies" season 2 ended, it was with a bang and a storm (and a death-RIP Dai)-and the introduction of a new alien. It's unclear as of yet whether or not the 2nd Mass should trust this new alien (played by Doug Jones in season 3), but its introduction allows "the genre elements [to] open up quite widely," Jessup says in the new video interview, which you can watch here. "There's a lot more pieces, a lot more moving gears, and we learn a lot more about all the different types of aliens and these new liens." In the third season, the show's scope sci-fi wise "gets much bigger because, until now, it's just been this one resistance group in this one part of the U.S.," the actor previews. "Suddenly it becomes much more universal in a very literal sense." That's actually not exactly surprising; it was announced back in October that Stephen Collins would be playing the President in the fourth episode.
Jones is coming in as the new alien, a "really interesting" character that "brings a new element to the show" that hasn't been seen in the previous two seasons," Jessup explained, adding he's looking forward to seeing how people react to the new alien and what follows because of it. This new alien has to be one of the reasons why "the third season picks up the pace from the second season." That was what happened with the second season, which helped earn it its renewal mid-way through the season. Will the same be true this summer?
"Falling Skies" season 3 premieres in the summer 2013. What's your theory about the newest aliens?
