Lee Pace portrays Brother Day, the emperor of the galaxy. Season three takes place 152 years after the events of season two, with two galactic powers reaching an uneasy truce as a warlord known as The Mule seeks dominion over the universe.

It was previously announced that Ian Goldberg (Fear the Walking Dead) would serve as the new showrunner for season four. Season three faced budget-related challenges that ultimately led to Goyer’s departure. David Kob will also serve as showrunner and executive producer for the upcoming season.
The series is produced by Skydance Studios, now part of the relaunched Paramount Television.
