TORONTO – Bell Media’s Space is Space is teaming up with Syfy on the upcoming original adventure drama series Killjoys.
Produced by Temple Street Productions of Orphan Black fame, Killjoys follows a trio of interplanetary bounty hunters sworn to remain impartial as they chase deadly warrants throughout the Quad, a distant system on the brink of a bloody, multi-planetary class war.
In development since 2012 as part of Bell Media's Writer Only Drama Development program, the project was ordered to series by Space last October. The 10-episode series will begin production in August in Toronto, and is set to premiere on Space in 2015.
"We're delighted that Canadian productions continue to resonate beyond our borders," said Catherine MacLeod, Bell Media’s SVP of specialty channels and production, in the news release. "We have a strong partnership already with Temple Street Productions, and we are very much looking forward to Syfy joining us on this inter-galactic adventure."
