Syfy’s given the thriller 12 Monkeys a second season order and announced season two will have two new showrunners to guide the show. First season showrunner Natalie Chaidez is busy working on Hunters so the network’s tapped current co-executive producers/writers Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett to take over showrunner duties. Charles Roven, producer of the original theatrical film, will continue on as an executive producer for season two.

“We are absolutely committed to 12 Monkeys, and have been incredibly impressed by the outstanding critical and audience praise the series has earned,” stated Dave Howe, Syfy President. “The talent both on and off-screen have delivered a series that has us all on the edge of our seats, providing exactly the smart, exciting storytelling Syfy is known for.”

12 Monkeys is continuing to rise in ratings, with the March 6, 2015 episode watched by 1.5 million viewers. The series, which stars Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull and Kirk Acevedo, will air its second season in 2016. Season one concludes on Friday, April 10th.

12 Monkeys is a show that has exceeded expectations at every stage. It’s had a great first season creatively, and is building a dedicated audience. We can’t wait to see where – and when! – Terry and Travis will take us next,” said President and Chief Content Officer NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Jeff Wachtel.
