Three terrifying teaser clips have arrived for Nightflyers, an upcoming TV series from Syfy, which is based on a 1980 novella and a series of short stories by Game Of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. The series’ first season will consist of ten episodes, and it will air on Netflix everywhere outside of the USA.
Here’s the synopsis…
“In 2093, in hopes of making contact with a mysterious alien life at the edge of our solar system, a group of maverick scientists and a powerful telepath embark on an expedition aboard The Nightflyer. As they race towards first contact, terrifying and violent events begin to occur, causing the once tight-knit crew to mistrust each other. It’s not long before their main mission becomes survival.
“Nightflyers is based on the novella by George R. R. Martin, who also serves as an executive producer on the project, and is produced by Universal Cable Productions and co-produced by Netflix. Jeff Buhler wrote the adaptation for television and is the showrunner and executive producer. Brian Nelson, Mike Cahill and Andrew McCarthy serve as executive producers. Gene Klein, David Bartis and Doug Liman from Hypnotic; Alison Rosenzweig and Michael Gaeta of Gaeta Rosenzweig Films; and Lloyd Ivan Miller and Alice P. Neuhauser of Lloyd Ivan Miller Productions also serve as executive producers.”

Additionally, this Nightflyers trailer has been doing the rounds since March…
Nightflyers was previously adapted into a film in 1987, with Robert Collector directing and Robert Jaffe writing the script with Martin. This 2018 TV version looks a lot scarier, though.
The Nightflyers TV series is expected to air on Syfy, over in the States, this autumn. We’ll let you know Netflix’s Nightflyers UK release date as and when we hear it.
