It’s official, folks! After a few weeks of anxious waiting and hand-wringing, Showcase’s latest hit series Continuum used its Toronto FanExpo session to announce that it has been renewed for a 13 episode second season and will begin airing its first season in the US in early 2013. Details for S2 (such as return date) are still emerging, so we’ll update this space when they’re available.

In the meantime, be sure to check out our coverage of S1 here.

Congratulations to the cast and crew. We’re very excited to see where the adventure goes next!
