After successfully producing and distributing the high-cost original series "Defiance", Syfy decided to expand its original script business, and "12 Monkeys" was launched on this occasion. In 2014, Syfy plans to add 5-6 original series, which will be extended to regular series like their new series "Helix".
"We plan to book fewer episodes for each series, such as 8-10 episodes instead of 13 episodes. Some may also be produced in two seasons and 10 episodes per season. We hope to produce 5-6 original episodes each year. In addition to a large-scale mini-series of the column type, this mini-series can also be used as an independent pilot episode. If the response is good, you can continue to pre-order future serial episodes, just like " Battlestar Galactica Battlestar Galactica", and become a Syfy station. Another milestone for the company." Stern mentioned.
"We have a lot of very good scripts," Stern said when referring to Syfy's original drama business. "We will return to the essence of science fiction, which is very cool, novel and advanced. We hope to produce a part of the series so that we can more Freely grasp the development of the story, and can better end. Some will be produced as a traditional pilot series, and we will determine whether to continue filming subsequent chapters based on the response.
