Many of Our Kind of Shows will be on vacation over the long weekend, because they think that we’ll all be on vacation. Happily, though, a few of Our Kind of Shows will be airing marathons on one or more of the days. Because we’ll need something to do in between seeing X-Men: Days of Future Past over and over again.

So here’s our Monday holiday sorted; thanks, Falling Skies! If you haven’t been watching, starting with Season 3 isn’t a bad way to go; Season 4 starts next month, and Season 3 was easily the best of the three so far. Here are the deets:

TNT Builds Anticipation for Season Four of Falling Skies with Memorial Day Marathon of Season 3

Noah Wyle Stars in Top 10 Drama from Amblin Television and Executive Producer Steven Spielberg

As excitement builds for the fourth season of TNT‘s hit drama Falling Skies, the network is giving viewers the chance to binge-watch the entire third season on Memorial Day. TNT will present all ten episodes of season three in a 10-hour marathon slated to begin Monday, May 26, at 10 a.m. (ET/PT). Falling Skies, which stars Noah Wyle, is produced by Amblin Television and executive producer Steven Spielberg. Also starring are Moon Bloodgood, Will Patton, Colin Cunningham, Drew Roy, Connor Jessup, Maxim Knight, Sarah Carter, Seychelle Gabriel, Mpho Koaho and Doug Jones. Scarlett Byrne (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) is set to join the cast as a regular this season, while Oscar® winner Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite, Mimic) and Treva Etienne (Terminator Salvation, Pirates of the Caribbean) are slated to guest-star, along with returning guest-star Robert Sean Leonard (House, Dead Poets Society).

Since premiering as the #1 new series of 2011, Falling Skies has ranked as one of basic cable’s Top 10 original dramas among key adult demos for each of the past three years. Executive-produced by Spielberg and Amblin Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank, along with David Eick and Greg Beeman, season four of Falling Skies is set to premiere Sunday, June 22, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT), following the launch of TNT‘s all-new drama The Last Ship.

In Falling Skies, Wyle stars as Tom Mason, a college professor who became an unlikely resistance leader following a massive invasion by an alien race known as the Espheni. Bloodgood is Dr. Ann Glass, a pediatrician who became the survivors’ primary physician and recently gave birth to a daughter who, it turns out, is not entirely human. Patton is Colonel Weaver, the gruff and emotionally scarred commander of the 2nd Mass who has been leading the battle against the invaders.
