SDCC 2018: Origin

YouTube Red has a new sci-fi TV series coming this fall, and it looks awesome. Origin is about a group of strangers who wake up on a spaceship on a spacecraft headed to a new planet. However, one of them is not who they seem to be and they threaten to destroy everyone on board.

Tom Felton and Natalia Tena (both Harry Potter alums!) star in Origin. They attended San Diego Comic-Con alongside Sen Mitsuji, Nora Arnezeder, Fraser James, and director Paul W.S. Anderson to discuss the show, their characters, and what it was like filming on a such a huge spacecraft set.

Hear what the cast has to say:

 

Check out the trailer for the series:
