![]() ![]() ![]() But in May, UCP got me a copy of Jeff Buhler’s script, and I saw how he’d dealt with that. “Honestly, at first I was baffled as to how they hoped to get a series out of my story, since at the end of the novella (and the film) pretty much everyone is dead (it was a horror story, after all). Martin also teased about the plot of the series, and it is a departure from his original work. It will be broadcast on SyFy in the USA, and on Netflix around the world.” If all goes according to schedule, the series should debut this summer, in late July. ((If by some miracles I actually complete enough of my other projects to create some free time, I’ve love to go over there and kill two birds with one flight by visiting both the GOT and NIGHTFLYERS sets… but that remains a long shot, given my current word load)). “NIGHTFLYERS will be shot in the Republic of Ireland, I’m told, on sound stages in Limerick… which will give them access to the same great pool of Irish and British actors that GAME OF THRONES has tapped in Belfast (and considering how many characters we’ve killed, a lot of them should be available). The author said the following about the Syfy series: Nightflyers is coming soon for a 10-episode season on SyFy, and George RR Martin teased the series, which is based on one of his novellas, in a recent blog post. ![]()
