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

Portal A are teaming up with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Pearl Street Films for a new SF series.

Deadline reports that Reaver X Specter is “a sci-fi action horror drama, set in Atlanta, against the backdrop of an insidious alien invasion disguised as an epidemic”. The show was created by writer/director Kholi Hicks, and follows two rival sisters on the front lines — a paramedic and a CDC microbiologist — who uncover the true nature of the outbreak and must put aside their personal baggage in order to stop the invasion from spreading.

“It is about these timely subjects and about this younger generation and it really resonates with buyers. The savvy production companies from the traditional world understand that when it comes to speaking to this new generation, often times on platforms that are new to them, you can’t fake it,” Portal A’s Nate Houghteling explained.

The project is currently being pitched to broadcasters and streamers.
