Set in a parallel present where robots known as Synths are a commonplace accessory, Humans closed its second series with a huge twist, as the entire Synth population was granted sentience.

"The way [that] series ends, the third series could end up being a whole different genre," Parkinson has hinted. "It's very exciting."

Picking up one year later, series 3 sees a decimated and oppressed Synth population fighting to survive in a world that hates and fears them.

In a divided Britain, Synths and Humans struggle to broker an uneasy peace, but when fractures within the Synth community itself start to appear, all hope of stability is threatened.

Joining the cast this series is Mark Bonnar as Neil Sommer, an intriguingly charming scientist on a government commission, with whom Laura develops a strong personal connection.

The new series of Humans is written by creators Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley, along with Debbie O'Malley, Namsi Khan, Jonathan Harbottle, Melissa Iqbal and Daisy Coulam.

Humans is returning to Channel 4 in May.
