Continuum has been renewed for a third season.

Further episodes of the Rachel Nichols sci-fi drama have been green-lit by Canadian network Showcase.

A second season of Defiance has also been confirmed, alongside a series commission of Battlestar Galactica exec Ron Moore's new drama Helix.

Continuum stars Nichols (Criminal Minds, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) as Kiera Cameron, a law enforcement officer who pursues a gang of rebels from the future of 2077 to the present-day.

"Kiera goes through a very interesting moral crisis... because in 2077 she knows who she is and she knows what she's fighting, she knows what's bad and good," Nichols told Digital Spy.

"She comes back to 2012 and her world is completely turned upside down and everything she believes she stood for is in question."

Continuum - which airs on Syfy in the UK - will premiere its second season on Showcase on Friday (June 7).
