'KILLJOYS' NEW SF SERIES

 CHARACTER PHOTOS ARE HERE

And to finish the week in which I brought you new cast photos for a number of new science fiction shows, here's more of the same: new character photos from SyFy's new summer series KILLJOYS showing the lead heroes in their galactic costumes! Starting Friday June 19th, and coming from the producers of ORPHAN BLACK, KILLJOYS is a space set drama about a group of intergalactic bounty killers!

THE STORY OF KILLJOYS

FUN LOVING BOUNTY HUNTERS
The story of KILLJOYS follows a fun loving, hard living trio of inter planetary bounty hunters sworn to remain impartial as they chase deadly warrants throughout the Quad, a distant system on the brink of a bloody, multi planetary class war. The people of the planet Qresh have colonized their three moons, creating four stratified worlds, each defined along socio economic lines and rife with social unrest.

LUKE MAC- FARLANE

IS NATURAL BORN SOLDIER

One of television's favourite hunks Luke MacFarlane (BROTHERS AND SISTERS) is  D'avin who is many things – handsome, uber masculine, sarcastic, incredibly loyal – but he is one thing above all: a born soldier. He dreamed of enlisting since boyhood, and his hard-won expertise in tactics, manoeuvres and hand to hand combat make him an instant asset to the KILLJOYS.

AARON ASH- MORE

IS NOT STUPID
WAREHOUSE 13 star Aaron Ashmore is playing John Jaqobis, who  is dyslexic with learning and reading disabilities and was labeled as “stupid” all of his life. He is not. Decisively. Give this man any mech, any tech, and he can fix it build it  fly it. Just don’t ask him to read the instructions. Or to believe that he’s actually intelligent. OK yeah, John has some self esteem issues but one thing he's completely sure of is his devotion to his fellow team mates.

HANNAH JOHN KAMEN

 IS BOLD AND DEADLY FLIRT

The only lady in the KILLJOYS sf series cast is Hannah John Kamen who plays Dutch: gorgeous, complicated and deadly flirt, Dutch is bold and fun loving on the surface. She has a unique gift for earning people's trust and respect regardless of their class. But under her banter and protective flirtations, there is pain, maturity, and a deep solemnity. As close friends as she is with John when we first meet them, she has always withheld a part of herself, a history of which she is deeply ashamed…
