SDCC 2018: Inside the Nightflyers Press Room

George R.R. Martin fans will have a new show to obsess over this fall: Nightflyers. Syfy’s new TV show adaptation of the Martin novella is a blend of genres: sci-fi, horror, and psychological thriller. In short, it’s going to be a show that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Nightflyers is about a team of scientists who embark on a journey to find new life forms (i.e. aliens) in space. Their ship, The Nightflyer, is an incredibly advanced vessel. However, once they are on board the ship, violent acts break out, and they soon discover there is a dark force (Is it one of them? Is some creature on board?) with them that they must fight in order to survive.

Actors Gretchen Mol (Dr. Agatha Matheson), David Ajala (Roy Eris), Eoin Macken (Karl D’Branin), Jodie Turner-Smith (Melantha Jhirl), Angus Sampson (Rowan), and executive producer Jeff Buhler attended San Diego Comic-Con to chat about Nightflyers. See what they have to say!

 

Check out the trailer for Syfy’s Nightflyers:
