Did you know that Banshee Season 3 release date is on January 9? That is pretty much two weeks away from now. If you haven't heard about it, you better read on to get yourself ready for the return of the pulpy Cinemax action series. After this, you can also head to Los Angeles for a special screening of the first episodes of the show.
In its website, Hitflix announced that there will be a special fan screening of earlier episodes in Banshee season 3.
"A few days after season 3 premieres, I'll be moderating a Q&A with Milicevic, "Banshee" co-creator Jonathan Tropper and executive producer Greg Yaitanes, which will be preceded by a screening of the season's second episode, a few nights before it airs on Cinemax. It'll be at The Landmark Theaters in LA, starting at 7 p.m. on January 14, and you can sign up now for a seat at https://www.hitfix.com/banshee," Hitflix's Alan Sepinwall wrote adding there will also have "Banshee" and HitFix-themed giveaways."
Aside from lead protagonist Lucas Hood (played by Antony Starr), Ivana Miličević, Ulrich Thomsen, and Frankie Faison are also coming back for their roles as Carrie Hopewell, Kai Proctor, and Sugar Bates, respectively. Other actors set to reprise their roles are Lili Simmons as Rebecca, Hoon Lee as Job, Trieste Kelly Dunn as Kelly, and more.
In terms of villains, Lucas Hood will have his hands full with Kai and Chayton Little (Geno Segers) who was promoted into a series regular in the show's sophomore run. According to a spoiler for Banshee season 3 released by TV Line, Kai and Chayton will be this season's big bad.
"[Proctor and Chayton] step in to kick it up a few notches," exec producer Jonathan Tropper said during the Comic-Con last summer. "Proctor's been a threat since Season 1. And we're bringing [Chayton] back in Season 3 in a big way."
Another thing to expect in Banshee Season 3 is the arrival of new characters.
Denis O'Hare of HBO's "True Blood"; "American Horror Story" will play as FBI Special Agent Robert Phillips who is looking to bring Lucas to justice. Chaske Spencer, known for his work in "Twilight: New Moon", will stir things up between the police department and the Chayton's tribe as he will play Billy Raven, a Kinaho tribe member hired as a new deputy.
