MELISSA O’NEIL (LES MISERABLES), MARC BENDAVID (BITTEN), ANTHONY LEMKE (THE GOOD WITCH), ALEX MALLARI JR. (ROBOCOP) AND JODELLE FERLAND (TWILIGHT) WITH ROGER CROSS (THE STRAIN) AND ZOIE PALMER (LOST GIRL)
DARK MATTER BEGINS PRODUCTION IN TORONTO JANUARY 7
NEW YORK – December 18, 2014 – Syfy today announced casting of the new acquired scripted series Dark Matter, which will feature Melissa O’Neil (Broadway production of Les Miserables), Marc Bendavid (Bitten), Anthony Lemke (White House Down), Alex Mallari Jr. (Robocop) and Jodelle Ferland (Twilight) with Roger Cross (The Strain) and Zoie Palmer (Lost Girl).
The series begins production in Toronto on January 7.
Created by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie (executive producers and writers of the Stargate franchise), and developed with Prodigy Pictures (Lost Girl, XIII), the 13 one-hour episodes are based on the graphic novel Dark Matter by Mallozzi and Mullie, published by Dark Horse Comics.
Dark Matter will premiere on Syfy in Summer 2015, joining Syfy’s stable of acquired international and domestic co-productions ranging from the hit series Z Nation to popular programs such as Lost Girl, Bitten and Continuum, and the upcoming series Olympus.
Executive producers are Jay Firestone, Joseph Mallozzi, Paul Mullie and Vanessa Piazza. The series will be distributed internationally by Endemol Worldwide Distribution.
In Dark Matter, the crew of a derelict spaceship is awakened from stasis with no memories of who they are or how they got on board. Facing threats at every turn, they have to work together to survive a voyage charged with vengeance, betrayal and hidden secrets.
Founded in 2006 by Jay Firestone and later joined by executive producer Vanessa Piazza, Prodigy Pictures leads the way in the production of quality television, film, and cross-platform media. Prodigy is responsible for the critically-acclaimed television series Lost Girl, which has electrified viewers around the world and amassed a cult-like following. Lost Girl just wrapped production on its final season. Prodigy’s other credits include indie horror The Dark Stranger and the original television miniseries XIII as well as XIII: The Series.

Ooh, so here for Zoie Palmer!
ReplyDeleteI have high hopes for this, I hope it does well :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be checking this out too! Really like the idea of having more and more sci-fi over the summer!
ReplyDeleteSyFy finally announced it! Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! A dark space ship show with conflicted characters, kind of reminds me of SGU. Hopefully it is as good as good as SGU! I miss that show.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteIf it's good then I will be there to watch it. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, this seems better than Syfy's space-based bounty hunter / love triangle series.
ReplyDeletei'm more interested in Expanse
ReplyDeleteZoie Palmer. Now I'm interested.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited to hear that Zoie Palmer has been cast in this. After hearing of Lost Girl ending after it's 5th season, I was worried I wouldn't get to see her on my TV screen again since most of the shows she's been in have mostly aired outside of the US!
ReplyDeleteFirst awesome for Zoie Palmer and last awesome because it's been to long since I last used this (you all know what comes next)! 4 THE PALMERIST, I am Nobody!!!
