Transplant season 3: next episode info, cast and everything we know about the series

Although NBC will be missing highly anticipated shows like Law & Order: SVU season 25 and Chicago Med season 9 in its fall lineup, Transplant season 3 serves as one of the few scripted programs debuting new episodes on the network. The Canadian medical drama has been well-received in the US since it first debuted, as viewers found themselves captivated by the nuance of the series that focuses on a doctor rebuilding his career in Canada having escaped the Syrian Civil War.

So what can fans expect with the new episodes? Here’s everything we know about Transplant season 3.

When does the next episode of Transplant season 3 air?

Transplant is moving to its new night on NBC to make room for the return of Law & Order Thursdays.

The episode titled "Unstuck in Time" airs on Friday, January 12, at 9 pm ET/PT on NBC. Here is a synopsis of what's to come:

"Bash tries saving a couple whose wedding was waylaid by gunfire. Mags' demanding teen patient needs birth control. June struggles with an old habit. An activist patient puts Theo in his place."

Transplant season 3 trailer

Here is the official Canadian (CTV) trailer for season 3. As NBC releases a trailer for the show, we can pass along the update.

Transplant premise

Here is the official synopsis of the series:

"Transplant follows the story of Dr. Bashir 'Bash' Hamed (Hamza Haq), a talented doctor and Syrian refugee, who fled his war-torn country with his younger sister, Amira (Sirena Gulamgaus), for a fresh start in Canada. After a truck crashes into the restaurant where he's been working, Bash earns the chance to practice medicine again by using his field-honed skills to save multiple lives in brilliant fashion, including that of Dr. Jed Bishop (John Hannah), the chief of Emergency Medicine at York Memorial Hospital in Toronto."

As it pertains to this season in particular, show star Hamza Haq stated in an interview:

"We see a different version Bash than we’ve seen in the past... There’s a bit more confidence and arrogance that he can exude."

Transplant season 3 cast

Again, starring in the series as Dr. Bashir Hamed is Hamza Haq. For many, Transplant is Haq’s most recognizable role. However, he’s also appeared in Delia’s Gone, Viking and With Love and a Major Organ, just to name a few of his projects.

Other members of season 3 are of the following:

• John Hannah (The Last of Us) as Jed Bishop

• Ayisha Issa (Workin’ Moms) as June Curtis

• Laurence Leboeuf (Three Pines) as Magalie "Mags" Leblanc

• Jim Watson (Slasher) as Theo Hunter.
