SYFY Officially Confirm Series Order and Announce Cast for 'Nightflyers'
05 Jan 2018 : Nathan Griffin
SYFY today confirmed a series pickup for ‘Nightflyers’, based on author George R.R. Martin’s novella and the 1987 film of the same name. This news follows the announcement of the key cast for the show which includes Ireland’s Eoin Macken and Brian F. O’Byrne along with Gretchen Mol and David Ajala.

Jeff Buhler (‘Jacob’s Ladder’) wrote the adaptation for television and will executive produce alongside Daniel Cerone (‘The Blacklist’) who will also serve as showrunner. Martin will also executive produce, along with Gene Klein (‘Suits’), David Bartis (‘Suits’) and Doug Liman (‘Live. Die. Repeat’) of Hypnotic; Alison Rosenzweig (‘Jacob’s Ladder,’ ‘Windtalkers’) and Michael Gaeta (‘Jacob’s Ladder’) of Gaeta Rosenzweig Films; Lloyd Ivan Miller and Alice P. Neuhauser of Lloyd Ivan Miller Productions. Robert Jaffe (‘Nightflyers,’ - 1987) will produce. Andrew McCarthy (‘Orange is the New Black’) will be a producer-director on the project. Mike Cahill (‘I Origin’) will direct the pilot.

The series will be produced by Universal Cable Productions. Netflix will co-produce and have first-run rights to the series outside of the U.S. 

 Gretchen Mol (‘Boardwalk Empire’) is set to star as Dr. Agatha Matheson, alongside Eoin Macken (‘The Night Shift’) as Karl D’Branin, David Ajala (‘Fast & Furious 6’) as Roy Eris, Sam Strike (‘EastEnders’) as Thale, Maya Eshet (‘Teen Wolf’) as Lommie, Angus Sampson (‘Fargo’) as Rowan,  Jodie Turner-Smith (‘The Last Ship’) as Melantha Jhirl and Brían F. O'Byrne (‘Million Dollar Baby’) as Auggie.

‘Nightflyers’ 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, produced in Ireland, is moving forward with the support of the Government of Ireland, through the Minister for Culture, Heritage and Gaeltacht and the Irish Film Board.
