Syfy today announced a series pickup for Nightflyers, based on author George R.R. Martin’s novella and the 1987 film of the same name.
Jeff Buhler (Jacob’s Ladder) wrote the adaptation for television and will executive produce alongside Daniel Cerone (The Blacklist), who will also serve as showrunner.
The series, produced in Ireland, is moving forward with the support of the Government of Ireland, through the Minister for Culture, Heritage and Gaeltacht and the Irish Film Board.
The series will be produced by Universal Cable Productions.
