More and more, SyFy's upcoming TV series adaptation of author George R.R. Martin's NIGHTFLYERS is looking like just the kind of series I dig. Hell, it basically looks like ALIEN: THE TV SERIES. That or EVENT HORIZON: THE TV SERIES. And as you know by reading both of those titles and feeling the goosebumps rush down your slacker-spine – both of those ideas are prime horror juggernauts. Let's just hope the series holds up to its trailers.
And speaking of the show's trailers and promos, today we have an all-new one, which features a creepy little kid in space… you know, being a creepy little kid in space. It's effective. The series is being picked up for Worldwide distribution via Netflix and will air on SyFy before that. It follows:
Eight maverick scientists and a powerful telepath who embark on an expedition to the edge of our solar system aboard The Nightflyer – a ship with a small tightknit crew and a reclusive captain – in the hope of making contact with alien life. But when terrifying and violent events begin to take place they start to question each other – and surviving the journey proves harder than anyone thought.
The series will star Gretchen Mol as Dr. Agatha Matheson, Eoin Macken as Karl D'Branin, David Ajala as Roy Eris, Brian F. O'Byrne as Auggie, Sam Strike as Thale, Maya Eshet as Lommie, Angus Sampson as Rowan, and Jodie Turner-Smith as Melantha Jhir. NIGHTFLYERS will arrive on Syfy in the US and on Netflix worldwide this fall.
