Solution on page 2 CoverStory By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it Ten years from now, the world as envisioned by James Patterson still will be a "Zoo" ... and, thanks to its animals, perhaps an even more lethal one. The best-selling au- thor's novel (co-written with Michael Ledwidge) makes a big time leap as its CBS summer-series incarnation's third season begins Thursday, June 29. With Patterson remaining among the show's exec- utive producers, it's now 2027 in the story line, and a decade has meant big changes for familiar char- acters who are among the steadily lessening human survivors — and also for their rampaging quarry, now even deadlier as "hy- brids" generated in labora- tories. One "Zoo" figure who makes a major transition is journalist Jamie Campbell, still played by "House of Cards" alum Kristen Con- nolly. Having spent a doz- en years being on the run from marauding animals while also seeking a cure for the crisis, she's reintro- duced as an experienced woman of action, signaled by her markedly different appearance. "She's really undergone a transformation in a lot of ways," the friendly Connol- ly confirms of Jamie. "Her values are the same, but she's been on a mission, not unlike how we saw her in Season 1. In this case, it's more focused on the people who took Mitch away. It's made her a little tougher, and I'm excited to see what the audience thinks when they meet all these characters 10 years later." "Mitch" is Mitch Morgan, the veterinary pathologist with whom Jamie devel- oped a relationship that went beyond their shared quest to stop the attacks. Spoiler alert: His portrayer, Billy Burke, is back in the regular cast this season. So are James Wolk, Nonso Anozie, Alyssa Diaz and Josh Salatin — and a new regular is Gracie Dzienny ("Chasing Life") as Mitch's now-grown daughter Clem- entine, who gave the im- pression at the end of Sea- son 2 that she knew where her missing father was. "Jamie does have a relationship with Clemen- tine," Connolly reports. "I don't want to say too much about what that is, but where we left it in Season 2, Clementine was a little girl who'd just met Jamie for the first time. And the history they've had over the past 10 years comes out in the first couple of episodes." The third season of "Zoo" starts Thursday on CBS. A decade later, the world is still a 'Zoo' as CBS suspense series returns
