Now that our timelines have finally synchronized, Christopher Lloyd has been experiencing a career renaissance. Following his roles in the series Over the Garden Wall and Granite Flats and his villainous turn in I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER, Lloyd has taken on yet another intriguing project: The third season of Syfy's 12 Monkeys.
Lloyd will play Zalmon Shaw, "a charming but deadly cult leader who preys upon others’ tragedies and losses in order to recruit new members into the apocalyptic cult the Army of the 12 Monkeys. Shaw is the father of the series’ most imposing villain, the enigmatic Pallid Man." It sounds like he's putting his IANASK experience to good work, turning to the darker side of his personality to continue his reign over pop culture.
In season 3 of 12 Monkeys:
James Cole (Aaron Stanford) and Cassandra Railly (Amanda Schull) embarki on a desperate search across time to find the man responsible for the apocalypse, a time traveler who calls himself the Witness. Killing the Witness will mean saving the world, but the journey will come at tremendous personal stakes for both Cole and Railly and will call into question new alliances, old bonds, and the virtue of the mission itself.
The season 3 premiere began production in Canada this week, with an eye on a 2017 debut.
