Third Season Premiere of Sanctuary moved to October

The third season of SyFy’s hit series “Sanctuary” is slated to return Friday Oct. 15, at 10pm. The science fiction / fantasy series follows Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping), an enigmatic and seductive adventurer and scientist, in her quest to track down, study and protect exotic creatures most people would call terrifying monsters.

Sanctuary is one of the only series to shoot extensively on green screen using extraordinary visual effects and virtual sets. The series was also the first in North America to shoot with the new RED camera – a digital system that captures images at four times the resolution of a high definition camera, resulting in a look that is unmatched on television.

Helmed by some of the innovative talents behind Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis, the series creative team includes executive producer, writer and creator Damian Kindler; executive producer and lead actor Amanda Tapping; and executive producer and director Martin Wood. In addition, Sam Egan (Jeremiah, The Outer Limits) serves as executive producer and writer along with John Smith (Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis) and Keith Beedie as executive producers.
