Speaking of SyFy, they have also revealed the first trailer for their new sf series THE EXPANSE which will air this year as a ten episode space thriller set two hundred years in the future. The story follows the case of a missing young woman who brings a hardened detective (Thomas Jane) and a rogue ship's captain (Steven Strait) together in a race across the solar system to expose the greatest conspiracy in human history. Shohreh Aghdashloo also stars!
Wow !THE EXPANSE great trailer i love it !
ReplyDeleteCheers .
It airs later this year!
DeleteLiked THE EXPANSE trailer. It is hard to get too excited about what SyFy puts out.
ReplyDeleteso very true, it either ends up looking cheap, poorly written or it is just crap.... but they did have Z NATION this summer, it was so nice :)
DeleteI think I will be watching a lot more SyFy channel this year. As David says, can't always rely on SyFy movies or series' to be awesome for more than one season, or even the entire season.
ReplyDeletethey really do have a lot of sf projects in works, and a lot of those airing this year, and some returning
DeleteI would like to see "The Expanse" ! didn't read the book(s) but it seems that it's a good story. Maybe I will buy the first tome ?
ReplyDeleteYou can try and see if you like it
DeleteThe Expanse looks like it going to be a good series.
ReplyDeletefingers crossed
DeleteThat's a pretty good deal for The Royals. They must be pretty sure that the ratings will be good.
ReplyDeleteI did watch SNOWPIERCER and it was brilliant. I didn't see that ending coming. But once revealed it made perfect sense given what came before. Wish there were more films like that out there.
Dahlink, who wouldn't wanna watch Vincent Regan ruling over Elizabeth Hurley? :)
DeleteGlad you liked it, dear, my next recommendation for you is THE GRAND SEDUCTION with Brendan Gleeson and TaylorKitch, such a lovely movie!
ReplyDeleteInteresting trailer, Dezzy. No premiere yet, but Royals renewed? Spin sounds like a nice tale of woe.
yep, some series get second seasons even before airing the first ones :) I remember SPARTACUS was one of them, but it rarely happens so much before. They probably wanted to use the sets.
DeleteYup. The Expanse looks good to me :)
ReplyDeleteglad to hear it!
DeleteI started to think I missed The Rotaks when I first saw it was already renewed. Testing audiences must have liked it for them to jump the gun on a renewal so soon!
ReplyDeleteand it's E! only scripted show, so it ain't difficult for them to spend some more money on it :)
DeleteWhat the hell is Rotaks? Late night posting on my phone leads to some pretty interesting typos lol.
Deletewell, T is next to Y and K next to L on the keypad :) It happens often to me as well
DeleteI LOVE SF!!! Looking forward to this one!
ReplyDeleteMore sf coming our way this year!
