Though Nightflyers hints at the grander machinations of its universe-the series is set in 2093, when Earth is beset by diseases and humans have colonized the moon-the focus is narrowed to a handful of passengers aboard the Nightflyer, a ship that is heading to deep space to make contact with a supposed alien life-form that could hold the key to saving humanity from, well, its own self-destructive tendencies. However, the first non- Thrones adaptation has already arrived in Nightflyers, the new Syfy series that will air all 10 of its episodes over the next two weeks.īased on Martin’s 1980 novella of the same name (Martin is an executive producer on the series), Nightflyers is a far cry from the action in Westeros, obviously in terms of the series’ aesthetics-space-meets-tech-noir production design is about as different as you can get from King’s Landing-but also in terms of its scope. In addition to Thrones, HBO is at work on a prequel series (it’s not called The Long Night, no matter what Martin says), while Hulu is close to creating two shows based on the author’s Wild Cards novels. Martin Television Universe is beginning to take shape across several networks.
Thanks in large part to the groundbreaking success of Game of Thrones, the George R.R.
