If the Humans series 2 finale left you gagging for more, you'll be thrilled to hear that the Synths are returning for a third series of the hit sci-fi drama at Channel 4 and AMC.

The new run will consist of eight episodes, with production set to begin this autumn ahead of a 2018 air-date.

"Humans provides a thrilling look at the evolution of technology and its effect on society," said Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and Sundance TV.

"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."

Beth Willis, head of drama at Channel 4, added: "I can't wait to see what the extraordinarily talented [writers] Sam [Vincent] and Jon [Brackley] do next with this show - no doubt it will be as insightful, surprising and addictive as ever."

Previously, Emily Berrington – who plays one of the most advanced pieces of technology known to man in Humans – revealed that she's actually not that fond of gadgets in real life.

Speaking to Digital Spy, Emily admitted: "I'm really rubbish with technology, I'm super backward! I think I got a mobile phone last out of all my friends, I really worried about people being able to get hold of me at any time, I really hated that idea."

Humans airs on Channel 4 in the UK and AMC in the US.
