Neither do anything from the far end of the future mentioned in the almost two-dozen other short stories, novellas, and novels written in the 1970s and 1980s by the same author appear in this upcoming series adaptation. Meaning, all the extra worlds and alien species mentioned in Martin's expanded Thousand Worlds universe don't exist yet in the timeline of the upcoming series' plot. Like we mentioned, the series is going to focus on a pretty near off future of our planet. Martin's novella was set far off in the future after all human life has collapsed owing to a war with the aliens and other extraterrestrial creatures. The first prominent difference is, of course, the setting. And, despite the many differences from the original story in the novella, what remains unchanged is that every character suffers an inevitable death in the end, in true George R. There's also an underlying horror within the group of experts traveling in the titular spaceship - specifically in the form of an axe-wielding murderer, called Rowan (Angus Sampson). Despite key differences from the novella, the series created by Jeff Buhler is pretty spectacular!Īs is fairly clear from the trailer that came out earlier this year, and also the recently released cold open for the pilot episode, the adventure based on a dystopian world is set closer to Earth's near future. But for those ardent fans who feel like the series will be yet another disaster like the 1987 film of the same name, worry not. Martin, this series is about to make up for the gaping void the mastermind's other brainchild - the Game of Thrones - left without releasing a season in 2018.

Syfy's upcoming space adventure/psychological thriller, 'Nightflyers', is almost here and if there is one thing fans can be certain of, it's the twisted element of horror and gore underlying what seems to be a perfectly composed science fiction plot.Īdapted from the novella of the same name by George R.
