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

Steve Blackman’s SF journey with Netflix will be continuing after The Umbrella Academy wraps its fourth season with two new shows: Horizon Zero Dawn and Orbital.

“Horizon Zero Dawn and Orbital are elevated, event-level projects grounded in characters that fans will love and relate to, which are hallmarks of Irish Cowboy productions,” said Blackman. “We’re thrilled to be working with Netflix and all of our partners on developing these ground-breaking stories.”

Horizon Zero Dawn is an epic sci-fi adventure series set a thousand years in the future, in a strange and beautiful world full of primitive tribes and high-tech machines, all built on the bones of the ‘Old Ones’ – the ruins of our present-day United States. The disaster that destroyed our world is long forgotten, but when these formerly peaceful machines mysteriously turn into dangerous hunters of all life, a young outcast named Aloy discovers that the only chance to save her world is to fight to uncover what happened to ours. It’s based on the PlayStation Studios video game.

Orbital is a  thriller event series set on the International Space Station. It’s an original concept by writers David & Keith Lynch, who will co-create the series with Blackman.

Both shows will be produced under Blackman’s new Irish Cowboy banner.
