Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Sky’s ambitious SF show Intergalactic is set to arrive on NBC’s Peacock network this coming Thursday, 13 May.

Written by award-winning showrunner, Julie Gearey (“Prisoners’ Wives,” “Cuffs,” “Secret Diary of a Call Girl”), the series tells the story of fearless young cop and galactic pilot, Ash Harper (“Savannah Steyn”), who has her glittering career ripped away from her after being wrongly convicted of a treasonous crime and exiled to a distant prison colony. But on the way there, Ash’s fellow convicts stage a mutiny and seize control of their prison transfer ship. With the flight crew dead, mob leader Tula Quik (“Sharon Duncan-Brewster”), is intent on reaching the free world – Arcadia – with her gang; and Ash is the only pilot who can get them there. Ash is forced to join them on the run towards a distant galaxy and an uncertain future.

The eight-part series stars Eleanor Tomlinson, Parminder Nagra, Sharon Duncan-Brewster and Craig Parkinson, Thomas Turgoose, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Natasha O’Keeffe, Oliver Coopersmith, Imogen Daines and new comer Diany Samba-Bandza.
