It's exactly the type of smart, on-the-edge-of-your-seat entertainment we want to bring to Syfy viewers."

"This season of 12 MONKEYS has proven to be a break through. From its epic storytelling to its grand aesthetic, Terry and the cast and crew have invested boundless energy and passion, and it showed," said Jeff Wachtel, Chief Content Officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment and President, Universal Cable Productions.

EW.com declared, "12 MONKEYS is great television," TV Guide says "CHEERS to Syfy's exhilarating 12 MONKEYS for transforming a cult movie into an even trippier series," and Vox.com noted, "12 MONKEYS pushes storytelling boundaries... "

12 MONKEYS, starring Aaron Stanford (James Cole), Amanda Schull (Dr. Cassandra Railly), Kirk Acevedo (Ramse), Emily Hampshire (Jennifer), Barbara Sukowa (Dr. Katarina Jones) and Todd Stashwick (Deacon), follows the journey of James Cole, a man from 2043 sent back in time to stop a malevolent organization known as the Army of the 12 Monkeys from destroying the world.
