12-monkeysThe Army of the 12 Monkeys will continue to march on, with confirmation that Syfy has picked up a further 13 episode series of the re-imagining of the Terry Gilliam movie.

Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, co-executive producers and writers of the pilot, will be stepping up to serve as EP/Showrunners.

“We are absolutely committed to 12 Monkeys, and have been incredibly impressed by the outstanding critical and audience praise the series has earned,” said 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.”

Jeff Wachtel, President and Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, added, “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.”

The ninth episode airs tonight in the US, with the UK seeing the third on Syfy UK.
