“Each night is going to play like a summer blockbuster,” Matalas tells EW of season 3, which picks up months after Cassie (Amanda Schull) was kidnapped by the Army of the 12 Monkeys and discovered that she is the mother of the Witness. Thus, if the first season was about fathers and the second was about mothers, the third tackles the plight of children. “It’s very much the life of one child as the show really explores what it means for these characters to have any kind of notion of family,” Matalas says.For the time being, Cassie’s “family” is the Army of the 12 Monkeys, who are keeping her in isolation in 2163, where the plague has ultimately mutated over the years and killed off the rest of humanity. Viewers will, therefore, get much more history about the origins of the Army and delve into the psyche of its members. “We get to see the birth of the Army of the 12 Monkeys and how the cult came together,” Matalas says, revealing that Christopher Lloyd’s character — as the father of the Pallid Man, he will appear in episode 6 — is the recruiter for the Army. “The episode really dives into religious belief, cults and what kind of person would be drawn to this particular philosophy on time.”
