By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Monday August 27, 2012 @ 10:17am PDT



I’ve learned that Syfy is finalizing a deal to acquire Canadian sci-fi drama Continuum. Last week, the 10-episode series was picked up by Syfy UK. Talks with the flagship US Syfy channel started shortly after Continuum‘s strong launch in Canada in late May. Its premiere on Showcase became the channel’s highest-rated episodic telecast ever with 900,000 total viewers and 427,000 adults 25-54. Continuum is a futuristic police drama starring Rachel Nichols as a cop from the future who finds herself trapped in present day Vancouver. (Kind of like a time-shifted Life On Mars). Co-starring on the series, produced by Reunion Pictures in association with Shaw Media, are Victor Webster and Alec Sadler.

Good to hear. Of course, since I live in Canada I've already seen all of Season 1.

 

[rashad]

I don't live in Canada but I've have seen it as well.

 

[KenK]

Just watched a Syfy promo. Reasonably intrigued. Alright, this has my attention.

 

[Paradox1]

its coming to Syfy? Wow thats great news no more searching online for new episodes like last season.

 

[chamber-music]

So I just finished watching the first season of this show and I really liked it. The police procedural filler stuff isn't that intresting but the overall time travel arc and conspiracy is intresting.

I like how the technology is believable in the show as well. I could certainly see that stuff become possible in the next 100 years (although its 70 in the show).

Syfy Confirms January 14th Premiere, also acquires US DVD rights

 

[riotgirl77]

glad to read it will be airing in the U.S. soon...great show!

 

[Destructus86]

What a fantastic show!!!

I hope it does well in the US.

 

[Paladin-Hoss]

Just watched the 1st episode...Loved it!

How could i have missed this? never saw any promo or anything about this show.

 

[Jordacar]

Two episodes in and I'm loving the hell out of this show so far!

I really like that Alec isn't your typical annoying, socially awkward nerd-type that we usually get on TV, and I really like the rapport he's building up with Keira, especially in the way Keira understands most of the technical jargon that he routinely throws around, but still has trouble with the simple things like driving a car.

 

[Destructus86]

This is VERY quickly becoming one of my new favorites.

 

[Baramos]

Sounds good, though I'd rather have Alphas season 3. Instead Syfy cancelled it. What gives, Syfy? Are you just actively trolling us at this point? Oh, well, show some more Ghost Mine, that will surely make up for it.

 

[Sawyer]

Why would say that in this thread? Go ***** in the Alphas thread if it bothers you so much...

 

[chamber-music]

Alphas wasn't cancelled because of this Continuum. Continuum is a Canadian Show which SyFyjust brought the rights to broadcast in the U.S while Alphas was a show made by SyFy.

Continuum in Production for Season Two
Posted by Kirk Hooper

Reunion Pictures, in association with Shaw Media, announced today that production has started on Season 2 of Continuum, the original one hour drama-action series about a policewoman from 2077 who travels back in time and teams with a present day cop to track down escaped convicts from her future. ContinuumSeason 2 is slated to premiere in Canada on Showcase in April 2013.

Continuum debuted on Showcase to an audience of over 1 million viewers (2+), shattering all previous premiere records on the network, making it the#1 specialty series of the summer. Last summer, Continuum averaged #1 on Sundays, dominating its timeslot across all key demos. The epic first season concluded with the most-watched finale in Showcase history.

In Season 1 of Continuum, Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols; Criminal Minds, Alias), a cop from the year 2077 found herself trapped in present day Vancouver, searching for convicted terrorists from the future, known as Liber8. With unexpected assistance from teen tech genius Alec Sadler (Erik Knudsen; Jericho, Scream 4), Kiera desperately tried to bring down the terrorists before they changed the course of history forever. In Season 2 Kiera continues her uneasy alliance with her partner, Vancouver Police detective Carlos Fonnegra (Victor Webster; Castle, Melrose Place) and grapples with the big question that closed the first season – why was I sent here? While Alec struggles to understand the implications of the mysterious message he received from his future self in last season’s finale, the Liber8 terrorists become more strategic, although just as lethal.
“Season 2 of Continuum will see Kiera pitted against Liber8 while trying to find a way back to 2077,” says creator/executive producer Simon Barry, “This season will feature the best elements of Season 1 in addition to some new characters and storylines that expand the universe of Continuum.”
“We're absolutely thrilled about the great viewer response for the first season and know that fans are eagerly awaiting the second season,” says Reunion Pictures Tom Rowe. “Simon Barry’s vision, top notch writing and a terrific cast are captivating the North American and international audiences.”

Rounding out the cast is Stephen Lobo (Smallville, Little Mosque On The Prairie), Roger Cross (The Gates, Fringe), Lexa Doig (V, Stargate SG-I), Omari Newton (Blue Mountain State, Sophie) and Luvia Petersen (The L Word).

Continuum is created by Executive Producer Simon Barry (The Art of War) while DGC award winner Patrick Williams (Shattered, DeGrassi:The Next Generation) is Executive Producer and Director. Reunion Pictures partners Tom Rowe, Lisa Richardson and Matthew O’Connnor are Executive Producers.

Filmed on location in Vancouver, BC, Continuumis developed and produced by Reunion Pictures.

Another fun episode last night, a bit heavy on the techno jargon, but oh my heavens that long-ass fight scene made up for it. It was seriously like They Live, it just kept going.

Did anyone else notice that for the Syfy airing, they altered the placement of the commercial breaks? It's extremely glaring with a show like this. Why would they do that?
