The third season will consist of 15 episodes, just like the recently concluded second season, and air sometime in early 2014.

Stars Josh Henderson, Jesse Metcalfe, Jordana Brewster, and Julie Gonzalo join original series vets Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray, and the late Larry Hagman, who passed away halfway through Season 2.
