The SyFy Channel premieres Defiance on April 15th, but you can get a taste right now in the 14-minute preview. This is the series that has a simultaneous video game tie-in. Both the series and the game are about a near-future, terraformed Earth. In a town called Defiance, actually, which used to be St. Louis.
Here’s a synopsis of series and game, as well as a 14-minute video preview of the series.
According to Variety, the Syfy channel is adapting Philip K. Dick’s classic alternate history novel The Man in the High Castle into a four-part miniseries. Ridley Scott is attached as Executive producer.
The premise of the novel is that Nazi Germany and Japan were the victors in World War II and occupy the U.S. in 1962, the time the story takes place. Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files) will be the primary screenwriter and also serve as Executive producer.
No word yet whether Megashark or Mansquito will make an appearance.
