After greenlighting 12 Monkeys, Syfy has been relatively quiet about the new drama series based on the 1995 Universal Pictures film directed by Terry Gilliam. The series is based on the classic film, and 12 Monkeys follows the journey of a time traveler from the post-apocalyptic future who appears in present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will eventually decimate the human race.
You can checkout the first trailer for the series, from Terry Matalas & Travis Fickett (Terra Nova, Nikita), who wrote the pilot script, and who are serving as Co-Executive Producers. Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven (American Hustle, Man of Steel, The Dark Knight Trilogy) and Richard Suckle (American Hustle, The International), will Executive Produce. Roven produced the original film.
The new series will be coming to Syfy in January 2015, starring Aaron Stanford, Amanda Schull, Noah Bean, and Kirk Acevedo.
