Amanda Tapping Tells All: Sanctuary Season 3

News Friday, October 22 by Captain


To Sci Fi fans, Amanda Tapping needs no introduction. To Stargate and Sanctuary fans, she is a cross between a goddess and the friendly (if ever so slightly naughty) girl next door, with a healthy dollop of the best mum in the universe.

With the Australian premiere of Sanctuary Season 3, we thought it only fitting that we speak with producer, director and star of the show to find out her take on a growing Sci Fi success story - and also to see if we could dig up some juicy tidbits for fans hungry for some information.

We spoke with Amanda via Skype from the offices of Sanctuary after she'd finished a day of shooting, and she was impossibly delightful.

Here's a rundown of what to expect. Goofy facial expressions, endearing giggles and accent lapses pop up randomly throughout.


On the growing success of Sanctuary.

Lessons learned from Stargate.

On directing. Scaring yourself, creatively.

Cool Upcoming episodes of Sanctuary Season 3 - 'Normandy' (set in 1944) and 'For King and Country'.

The changing face of Sci Fi.

Whether shel'll be on Stargate Universe again.

Tesla and Magnus? Romance on Sanctuary.

On being a producer, director, star on Sanctuary - and having time for 'Tapping Tuesday' on Twitter.

Stargate alumni on Sanctuary Season 3.

Narrating Riese the series.

On bringing Ashley back.

The new 'baddie' on Season 3 - Jekyll and Hyde, played by Ian Tracey.

On fighting in heels. Learning to box.

On coming to Australia.

Enjoy!




Sanctuary airs every Friday night at 7:30pm! You can get a free SMS or email reminder, here.

Also, for fans who have trouble catching the first three on-air episodes, SCI FI will air them on Spectrum, a day after they've finished airing, and then leave them on, for 30 days, so you'll eventually be able to watch all three, one after the other, online!

    Hey Amanda, absolutely love Sanctuary, please keep it coming. It so different from anything else out there, I really enjoy it. Thats not to say I don't still love Stargate SG1, which would have to be my all time favourite show. Anyway great interview, and keep up the good work....cheers
