SYFY ANNOUNCES PICKUP OF PILOT BASED ON GEORGE R.R. MARTIN'S NOVELLA "NIGHTFLYERS," FROM UNIVERSAL CABLE PRODUCTIONS

Universal City, CA -- June 22, 2017 -- SYFY today announced a pilot pick up for NIGHTFLYERS based on author George R.R. Martin's ("Game of Thrones") novella and the 1987 film of the same name. Jeff Buhler ("Jacob's Ladder") wrote the adaptation for television. In NIGHTFLYERS, in the hope of making contact with alien life, eight maverick scientists and a powerful telepath 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. 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.

"We are looking forward to diving deeper into George R.R. Martin's chilling world of NIGHTFLYERS," said Bill McGoldrick, Executive Vice President Scripted Development for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment, "The script that Jeff delivered encapsulates this classic sci-fi horror story and adapts it to a platform where we can truly explore the depths of madness."

From Universal Cable Productions, NIGHTFLYERS will be executive produced by Gene Klein (SUITS), David Bartis (SUITS) and Doug Liman ("Live. Die. Repeat") of Hypnotic; Buhler; Alison Rosenzweig ("Jacob's Ladder," "Windtalkers") and Michael Gaeta ("Jacob's Ladder") of Gaeta Rosenzweig Films; and Lloyd Ivan Miller and Alice P. Neuhauser of Lloyd Ivan Miller Productions. Robert Jaffe ("Nightflyers," - 1987) will produce.

NIGHTFLYERS was announced in development as part of SYFY's reboot, which includes previously announced series pick-ups for the highly-anticipated Superman prequel KRYPTON and graphic novel adaptation HAPPY!, starring Christopher Meloni.
