The sci-fi drama, a joint production between the respective UK and US networks, began its successful run in 2015. Its follow-up season wrapped in the UK last December, with the finale airing in the States just last week.
Like its predecessors, season three will consist of eight episodes. Production will begin this autumn with an air-date set for 2018.
The series primarily followed the Hawkins family - led by Katherine Parkinson and Tom Goodman-Hill - who discovered that their live-in 'synth' Anita (Gemma Chan) may have developed consciousness sparking a dangerous conspiracy.
Humans, written by Brits Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley, also stars Colin Morgan, Emily Berrington, Lucy Carless and Carrie Ann-Moss.
President of original programming and development for AMC and Sundance TV, Joel Stillerman, said: “Humans provides a thrilling look at the evolution of technology and its effect on society. The critical response to season two celebrates the creative vision, dynamic story-telling and compelling portrayals shared by the writers, producers and actors. We are pleased to continue our collaboration with Channel 4 and Kudos and look forward to season three.”
