TNT has ordered 10 new episodes for 2013.
July 11, 2012
TNT announced today that Falling Skies has been renewed for a third season. The Noah Wyle drama has been having a successful run since debuting last summer. Its first season finished as basic cable's top new series of 2011, and it currently ranks as basic cable's #1 summer drama among adults 18-49.
"Falling Skies is television storytelling at its very best, a powerful drama that's told on both an epic scale and on a deeply personal level," said TNT president Michael Wright. "With all the memorable and surprising moments taking place during the second season of Falling Skies, we can't wait to see what DreamWorks Television and Falling Skies' terrific production team and cast members have in store for season three."
The network has ordered 10 new episodes of the alien invasion drama for 2013. No premiere date is set, but a June return looks likely at this point.
UPDATE: Falling Skies Season 3 premieres on Sunday, June 9, 2013 at 9:00pm.

It's a miracle that this show is getting yet another season and hasn't been cancelled yet. "storytelling at its best"??? The stories in the episodes are dumb, dull and there couldn't be more cliche. Like Terra Nova this show shouldn't have even seen a season 2.

Finally, another good Sci-Fi series on TV. The suspense on the latest episodes has been very good. I usually look forward to the next episode. I just hope that they don't do something dumb to lose the audience. We need a great Season 2 closing episode. Networks that split the series up, like on Burn Notice and The Walking Dead, they're on to something. Who wants to wait a whole 9 to 12 months for a series to return. My only complaint about Falling Skies is that it looks horrible in SD. I hope it looks better on the TNT HD channel.

I have to agree with Stephen! Only 10 episodes a season??? It's far too exciting a show to leave one hanging for too long. A certain amount of suspense is riveting; far too much suspense is painful!

I love this show and I was worried that it was going to get axed. Glad it is coming back for a third season.

I love this show glad its coming back. BUT I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE that they only do 10 eps. a season with a 2hr start and end you only have 6 weeks to the season which is gay. Make it like any other show 15-20 eps. or do like walking dead show 10 in summer then come back a few months later don't take a full year off I forgot everything that happened in season one before the 2ed season started. If they stick with this 10 eps. a season no matter how great the show is next season will be the end no one wants to wait over a year every time to see what happens next.
