We’re about seven weeks out from the third season premiere of Killjoys and Syfy has released the first batch of photos while our Canadian friends at Space Channel have released a little intel on the actual season. Enjoy!

Several new characters have been announced, each tied back to Clara (Stephanie Leonidas, who’s now on Crackle’s Snatch), who we last saw in the Season 2 finale as she and Johnny left the Quad–which I hope means that we’ll see more of her, too.

As you’ll recall, Clara had some badass weaponry as an extension of her arm, and she and the folks like her are called Hackmods–humans with cybernetic implants who were enslaved and modded in a black market workshop known as The Factory and sold to the highest bidder.

The new characters include Niko, a lethal Hackmod surgeon with killer legs and a secret crusade, played by international bionic pop artist Viktoria Modesta, whose viral hit song, “Prototype” will be featured in an episode; Ollie, played by Bitten‘s Tommie-Amber Pirie (super glad to see her back); Yoki, played by Emily Piggford (Hemlock Grove), bar owner Havigan, played by Prince Amponsah (The Entertainer); Hackmodding tech Cutter, played by Sean Fowler; and The Enforcer, played by Michael Potter.

We’ll also be introduced to Rat City, a neutral zone situated at the far end of the J Star System where Hackmods have one another’s backs and “Basics” (unmodded humans) are not welcome.

Here’s what we know so far about Season 3: After sustaining serious personal losses, our trio of interplanetary bounty hunters must come together and prepare themselves for what lies ahead. Tension and tragedy loom over the J Star System as they struggle to assemble an army and prepare for battle.

According to the image tags, the premiere is called “Boondoggie,” Episode 2 is “A Skinner, Darkley,” and Episode 4 is “Home Is Where the Hullen Isn’t.”

Killjoys returns to Syfy and Space Channel at 8 pm/7c on Friday June 30th. You can watch seasons 1 and 2 here, here, and here and read our coverage here. Here’s the first teaser, courtesy of Space Channel.
