Last summer it was announced that Syfy is working on the sci-fi series Nightflyers , which is based on a novel by George RR Martin. Meanwhile, the station has decided on the project and has ordered a first season, which will then be seen in the US in the coming months. The rights for the international market lie with Netflix. For the main role, they have secured the services of Gretchen minor.
Nightflyers follows eight maverick scientists and a powerful telepath who 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 - in the hope of making contact with alien life. But when terrifying and violent events begin to take each other - and surviving the journey proves harder than anyone thought.
