Last Updated on July 22, 2021

An official release date has finally been set for Syfy’s upcoming “12 Monkeys” series, which will be premiering next year on January 16, 2015, at 9pm ET/PT. And on the heels of that news is a handful of new stills that you can take a peek at below. One of the most intriguing things about Syfy's adaptation of Terry Gilliam's 1995 classic of the same name is how it's going to set itself apart from the film. What we've seen so far suggests that it's going to be quite a bit different. Watch the trailer HERE if you missed it.

Here’s what you can expect from the show:

Inspired by the classic blockbuster film, which commemorates its 20th anniversary next year, “12 Monkeys” explores the provocative story of a time traveler from a decimated future in a high-stakes race against the clock. Utilizing a dangerous and untested method of time travel, he journeys from 2043 to the present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will all but annihilate the human race.

12 Monkeys stars Aaron Stanford (as time-traveler Cole), Amanda Schull (Dr. Cassandra Railly), Kirk Acevedo (Ramse), Barbara Sukowa (Jones), and Noah Bean (Aaron Marker). Additional key recurring roles include Tom Noonan “(Damages,” “Hell on Wheels”) as a mysterious villain and Emily Hampshire (“Rookie Blue”) as mental patient Jennifer Goines.
