Sci-fi drama Killjoys has been renewed for two additional seasons, with production on the fourth season set to begin in Toronto later this year.

Bell Media’s Space channel confirmed the 20-episode renewal (10 episodes per season) at Fan Expo Canada on Saturday, ahead of the season-three finale. The fifth season will serve as the final chapter for the series.

The announcement came on the same day it was announced that Dark Matter had been cancelled by Syfy after three seasons.

In Canada, both Killjoys and Dark Matter had posted impressive ratings for Space. The series, which were part of the same programming block on Space in Canada, drew audiences of 444,000 and 448,000 when they returned for their respective season-two premieres last summer.
