For those fans of HBO's Game of Thrones who enjoy the violence of George R. R. Martin's world, it seems Netflix and SyFy have just a treat for you with their upcoming series, Nightflyers.
Nightflyers is a new series based on George R. R. Martin's novella of the same name. It is not set in a fantasy world that many associate with the epic fantasy author, but in a sci-fi universe. What many Game of Thrones fans may not realize is that George R. R. Martin actually has a catalog of sci-fi works in which the Nightflyers novella fits. Released originally by Analog Science Fiction and Fact, Martin ended up expanding on the short story until it became a 30,000-word novella. This has since been picked up and developed into a 10-part series.
Netflix has dropped the trailer for Nightflyers, which can be viewed below. Gizmodo has announced this series will air on Netflix in spring for all regions outside of the U.S.
