During a Facebook Live event on Thursday, stars Emma Ishta and Kyle Harris announced that the sci-fi drama has been renewed for a third season containing 10 episodes. A premiere date and time has not been determined.

For anyone of those that haven't seen or understand fluent Freeform, Stitchers follows a young woman named Kirsten (Ishta), who, along with the help of a top-secret organization, stitches herself into the memories of the deceased in order to solve crimes.

"Stitchers passionate fanbase has been vocal about wanting to see more of this show, and we listen," says Karey Burke, Freeform's executive VP of programming and development. "Stitchers has proven itself a consistently strong performer, and we're proud of the fact that it celebrates #smartgirls everywhere."

I'm pretty excited for the news and yet I haven't even seen season 2 yet. So I better catch up better season three premieres, which would probably be sometime middle of next year or so

Deep Family Secret: Blindspot "If Beth"

Jane gets a family history while the FBI dealing with an art assassin and a secret for Weller that will have you stun.

Jane gets a little information of why Sandstorm is doing what they're doing. Roman shows her to Canada to show her what they're fighting for. Now this might nt be a lot to understand but when Sheppard confronts Jane about her family and what they suffered from and to what Jane and Roman brought to her makes perfect sense that they're gonna after the Government.

Meanwhile, Patterson finds a hidden code in the honeycomb tattoo on Jane's hand. It gave a number and a name. It lead to a man that goes with a code name shadocat. After capturing and leaving shadocat out cold thanks to Reade's issue, the team navigates into an assassin about to hit an art gala.

The team goes undercover, each member takes on each level of floors. When Patterson went downstairs, she gets attack from the assassin but Weller gets there in time to save Patterson and chase the assassin but looses her.

Jane confronts her and battles with another great fight scene that Blindspot has given. But after almost kicking her butt, she pulls out flash bombs and knocks out Jane.  The team searches to find who this assassin ad find where she was going to hit next. That's where they caught her and questioned her. Shocking enough she admits she's a CIA agent, but there are no files to prove that.

She opens up and tells Weller and Jane everything and soon we get from job to asking to save her child from her father. That was something, Weller and the gang catches up where the father and her daughter are at and the father starts shooting at them.

After taking down the father, all of the sudden the daughter takes shots at the FBI too, until Jane talks to her, calms her down and takes her to her mother. The two reunite and things look peaceful.

Reade is still struggling with the Coach Jones case. It's now reflecting his job when he injured two suspects. Zapata is the only one concern for his safety.

Weller and Nas seem to get along in this episode. After the case, they both have a scotch and soon after Nas shows Weller why Sandstorm is using him from the start by showing a clip of the graduating the academy that Sandstorm has been watching Weller from the beginning. How weird is that?

This was an amazing episode!!! We got to see Weller and Nas grow closer as co leaders of the team. The writing was good, the performance from the cast was great again.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10

You can catch Blindspot Wednesday nights at 8/7c on NBC.

High Emotions: Chicago PD "All Cylinders Firing"

I'm just going to say it... give Amy Morton the performer of the week!!!

This episode took the character Platt into a situation that we've never seen in the four seasons of CPD. When Platt gets attacked from an unknown person, Hank and the team goes far and wide to search for the person.

The team looks into those that had threaten Platt. There were things that even the Intelligence Unit didn't know she was doing, like being a security guard at a local liquor store. But it was that they didn't know that she came from a rich father, who had some business go under and still make a lot of money.

When Platt woke up, she gets the news that her father was also attack and died. That look from Platt gave to Erin was a look that has stuck into my memory. And yet she tells Erin and the gang that she doesn't know anyone that would want to attack her or her father, but it's Trudy, as she tells them no, she had that funny look.

When the Intelligence gets a good lead, Burgess tells Platt about a car. Platt knows who it was and leaves Chicago Med and goes after the man, McGregor, who had a hand in one of her father's businesses.

Platt catches him and gets him to cuff him. She takes him into a basement and beats him a few times but soon Voight comes in and tries to get her to tell him about the situation so he can help. I had a feeling that Voight would be coming to help her pulling another go after lead to the others.

From scenes of Hank and Platt in the basement to the final scene of Platt and Mouch at Med, it was literally the best 10 minutes of television I've seen so far. Emotions were set high at the beginning of the episode and emotions were overwhelming at the end. As I said at the beginning of this piece, "give Amy Morton the award for Performer of the Week.

Overall, I give this episode a 10/10.

You can catch Chicago P.D. Wednesday nights at 10/9c on NBC.

Blast to the Past: Timeless "Pilot"

When a time machine has been stolen, the people of a Corporation and Homeland Security send three people, a history professor, a solider and an engineer to stop a mad man from changing the past.

Timeless seems to be one of those shows that ask more questions and only getting some answers. Abigail Spencer plays  Lucy Preston, a history professor who didn't get the tenure at a university and her mother is dying. She gets a knock from Homeland Security to come down and help after Garacia Flynn (Goran Visnjic) steals the time machine that really looks like an eye.

Lucy meets with Master Sergeant Wyatt Logan former US Army Delta Force and Rufus Carlin, engineer and coder and the three had to follow where Flynn went and that place was the night of the Hindenburg disaster.

The threes tries to find Flynn and his gang and when they learned that they're going to bring down the Hindenburg. But when they get there, the Hindenburg didn't blow up in flames like it was suppose to in the history books had said. No Flynn had a didn't idea, this one was to blow it up and kill everyone in it.

Even though Wyatt stopped the bomb from going off, the Hindenburg still went down, this time from one of Flynn's men firing a shot, probably the same people that had in the history book including a journalist that Wyatt seems to look like his late wife.

Flynn and Lucy gets to have a nice chat. He tells her that she doesn't have a clue why she's doing this but it's her destiny. Plus he shows her the book that he's using that has her handwriting, the question is how did he get it?

By the time, Lucy, Wyatt and Rufus get back, things to back to the same expect that Lucy's mother is not on her death bed and her younger sister is no longer alive. The three comes back and sees that Flynn has gone back this time to another history moment.

This shows does have that feel of The Blacklist since John Davis and John Fox are executive producers in this Eric Kripke and Shawn Ryan created series. I do love some of the characters, like Spencer's and Rufus seems to be the comic relief character. Loved it when he told a Jersey cop that he better live long enough to see Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson and Mike Tyson and not to mention Barack Obama change the world.

Visnjic is pretty good as a villain, but I want to wait to see how he does more in future episodes. To me he's still Dr. Luka Kovac  from ER in my heart.

It seems that when no matter what the event will happen no matter the outcome. We saw the Hindenburg in the first scene go down from what actually happen to when Flynn and Lucy went back the Hindenburg still went down and the same people were killed. I hope that's not what each episode will do.

I've really enjoyed it. It's a show that I'll be tuning in each week. I'm a history buff myself and can't get enough of history when I was in high school and college.

Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Timeless Monday nights at 10/9c on NBC.
