Eight years after the debut of its last sci-fi show, miniseries-turned-series 4400, USA Network is re-entering the genre space with Horizon, a cast-contingent drama pilot from The Walking Dead executive producer Gale Anne Hurd.
Set during the height of World War II, Horizon centers on a secretary at the FBI who discovers that her husband might have been killed in a battle with a spaceship in the South Pacific. Obsessed with learning the truth, she becomes the only person standing between Earth and an alien invasion. Bridget Tyler (Burn Notice) wrote the script and will co-executive produce for Universal Cable Prods. and Hurd’s Valhalla Entertainment, which has a deal at the studio. “Horizon is our first genre piece since The 4400 and the first ever period drama for the network,” said USA Network co-presidents Jeff Wachtel and Chris McCumber. “This signals the next step in the evolution of our programming brand.”

sounds nice
ReplyDeletebut a time alter of a key part of history, make me question so much like will we end with the 1940s as the future near the end of the show or 2020s and such. and more.
I like the sound of this, and even more I like the sound of USA changing their brand up. It's about time, all of their procedurals seem so similar I never know which is which. White Collar is the only show I like, although I've only seen a couple of episodes.
ReplyDeleteThe 4400 and The Dead Zone were great series, hopefully USA will develop more sci-fi/horror/fantasy shows in addition to this.
I'll keep my eye on this,sounds interesting enough.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see them changing genre, all their shows lately have been too alike, yes that has worked for them but Burn Notice and Psych probably only have a season or two left and they need something different.
