Universal Cable Productions To Produce, Along With Rob Morrow And Leslie Urdang
 
PASADENA, CA- January 15, 2015- Syfy announced today that Jim Uhls (Fight Club, Semper Fi, Jumper) has signed on to adapt Robert Charles Wilson’s Hugo Award novel, Spin, into a six hour miniseries. The widely acclaimed novel centers on a young scientist trying to save humanity from the impending apocalypse of a mysterious, impenetrable cloud that has enveloped the entire Earth, blacking out the stars.
 
Spin, originally published in 2005, is the first of a trilogy in the best-selling series that also includes Axis and Vortex.
 
Universal Cable Productions will produce the project, along with Rob Morrow’s Bits and Pieces Picture Company and Olympus Picture’s Leslie Urdang. Jim is represented by Paradigm, Anonymous Content and Bloom, Hergot, Diemer.

This Friday Syfy premieres season two of Helix. The season brings a lot of changes, from setting, to tone, even new characters. Star Neil Napier, who plays Peter Farragut, and executive producer Steven Maeda talked to the digital media earlier in the week about what fans can expect in season two.

Maeda talked to SciFi Vision about the characters meeting up again during the season. “To say that everybody will be meeting up at some point, it will definitely happen before the end of the season, and, you know, the challenge for us was trying to keep the storyline both moving ahead in a way that was hopefully satisfying and is kind of an interesting thing to watch, even though we’re watching both storylines from the same episodes going kind of different directions.

“But yes, we are definitely planning on bringing everything all together, and I think that the reunions be they happy or sad, are going to be very rewarding when they finally start happening.”

Helix returns to Syfy for a second season of 13 episodes, starting on Friday. The show picks up about fifteen months after the events in season one. The team investigates a completely new deadly viral outbreak, this time on a cruise ship, which leads them to a mysterious island. The inhabitants of the island, members of a strange cult, however, are less than happy to see them.

The series doesn't drop the Narvik storyline, but it does focus more on the new virus. The storytelling and tone seem quite a bit different than last season, as of the first episode, in my opinion. I felt it focused on what is going on with the people on the island as much as it did the virus. Not that this is a bad thing in any way; it just feels different. It's also much different that the characters are out in the open, but as they are on an island, it does still have that great feeling of isolation and also claustrophobia. I found the episode to be very creepy and am really excited to find out more about the mysteries surrounding the cult.

Friday Syfy premieres its new drama 12 Monkeys. The series is based on the film of the same name, and although the overarching plot comes from the film, the result is rather unique and definitely stands on it's own. The pilot sets up the series, and does take a bit from the film, but then it branches off.

The series follows Cole (Aaron Stanford), who is sent back in time by a group of scientists to stop a virus that kills most of humanity. Cole travels back and forward in time to try to save the world. He is helped in his past (2015), where the main part of the story takes place, by Dr. Cassandra Railley (Amanda Schull). The two follow clues to try to figure out what started the deadly chain of events.

Meanwhile in 2043 the scientists, led by Jones (Barbara Sukowa), comb through clues that Cole reveals, while also dealing with their own bleak reality.

Tomorrow FXX premieres the new series Man Seeking Woman. The show stars Jay Baruchel as Josh Greenberg, who is on a quest to find love. The journey won't be easy and includes some strange things such as a blind date with a troll, time travel, sex aliens, and more.

In preparation for the premiere, Baruchel recently talked to the media about his upcoming series and what viewers can expect.
