Syfy has ordered a new pilot based on George R.R. Martin’s Nightflyers, Deadline reports.
“We are looking forward to diving deeper into George R.R. Martin’s chilling world of Nightflyers,” said Bill McGoldrick, the EVP of scripted development for NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment.
Nightflyers is the first pilot Syfy has announced since their rebranding, which is part of the network’s push to refocus more on science-fiction.
Jeff Buhler (Jacob’s Ladder) wrote the television adaptation, which Martin is not involved with.
