Season 3

The SCI FI channel has ordered a 20-episode third season, which will premiere both the US and UK in October 2006. There will be no "split" between Episode 10 and Episode 11. Production began in April 2006 in Vancouver, British Columbia.[3]

Michael Taylor has joined the writing staff for season 3.[4] Taylor was previously a writer on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager and The Dead Zone. He is known for writing the acclaimed Deep Space Nine episode "The Visitor", as well as "In the Pale Moonlight", which was controversial in challenging some of Star Trek's utopian ideas.
