Season 3 Premiere Announced for TNT’s FALLING SKIES


Falling-Skies-Logo-Wide

Time to grab your calendars, kids, because the summer premiere dates are starting to come out. We already have Teen Wolf on June 3 at 10/9c on MTV. Now we can fill out Sundays by scribbling in Falling Skies. The two hour premiere will air on June 9 at 9/8c, before taking its regular slot of Sundays at 10/9c the following week.

Basic cable’s #1 summer drama among key demos tells the extraordinary story about life and survival in the wake of a catastrophic alien invasion. Noah Wyle stars as a college professor who becomes an unlikely resistance leader in this gripping series from DreamWorks Television and executive producer Steven Spielberg. Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton, Drew Roy, Maxim Knight and Connor Jessup also star. In the third season of Falling Skies, Gloria Reuben is set to guest-star in a multiple-episode arc as Marina Perlata, an aide to Wyle’s Tom Mason. In addition, Robert Sean Leonard is slated to guest-star as Roger Kadar, an obsessive but gifted scientist who runs the local power grid and lives underground with his pet rats, earning him the nickname “The Rat King.” In addition to Spielberg, Falling Skies is executive-produced by DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank. Remi Aubuchon and Greg Beeman also serve as executive producers.

Too bad that Robert Sean Leonard is only guest starring, but otherwise it all looks great. Here’s the catch-up featurette  from last month to additionally whet your appetite for June:
