On 29 September 2009, the station announced it had formed a deal with the digital channels Watch, BBC America, and German broadcaster Pro7, to recommission the programme for the fourth and fifth series.
In the first series' finale Cutter travels through a time anomaly, and upon his return he discovers that Claudia Brown no longer exists, and the timeline has changed.
In the third series, Cutter is killed, while Jason Flemyng joins the cast as Police Officer Danny Quinn.
Ben Mansfield also joins as Captain Becker, the team's armed support, replacing Stephen Hart.
The climax has Connor, Abby, and Quinn pursuing Helen through anomalies to prevent her exterminating the human ancestors.
