On December 12, 2009 Sanctuary was renewed for a third season consisting of 20 episodes.[21] It will conclude the second-season cliffhanger. The expanded season will also give the producers the opportunity to involve "really big story arcs", as well as exploring more on Helen's past and deal with "something that's much bigger than Big Bertha."[22] Former Rome and Caprica actress Polly Walker will guest star as antagonist Ranna in two episodes during the middle of the season.[23] In addition, former wrestler Edge (Adam Copeland) will guest star as an abnormal named Thelo in the season finale, scheduled to air during the Spring 2011.[24] Production of the season commenced on March 15, 2010.[25]

The spring season began airing on April 15, 2011 with 1.217 million viewers, a season low. Syfy later announced it would swap the show with Urban Legends where it was moved to Monday nights and be paired with Stargate Universe starting April 25 due to the low rating from the mid season premiere.[30] However ratings for the show worsened, with 868,000 viewers watching "One Night".[13] Ratings hit an all-time low when only 656,000 saw "Normandy". However, the last three episodes of the season saw a sizeable recovery, likely due to the ending of the 2010/11 broadcast season from the major networks; nearly 1.3 million watched the season finale.[31] The spring season averaged 997,000 however,[32] though Syfy picked up the show for a fourth season in January 2011.[33] In Canada the season premiered on the Space channel on October 15, 2010.[34] In the United Kingdom, the satellite channel Watch bought the rights to show the third season of the show.[35] The previous two season were shown on ITV4.[36]
