SCI FI Gets Enterprise, Other Shows
SCI FI Channel has acquired the rights to multiple made-for-television movies and series from CBS Paramount Domestic Television, including Star Trek: Enterprise, the prequel series starring Scott Bakula and Jolene Blalock, as well as the series Haunted, Jake 2.0 and last fall's short-lived Threshold. The deal also includes exclusive cable rights to the classic series The Twilight Zone, Tales From the Darkside, several Stephen King miniseries and made-for-TV movies including Primal Force and Trilogy of Terror II.
Enterprise, which ran for four seasons 2001-'05 on UPN, will premiere in early fall on SCI FI Channel. The Twilight Zone will continue its exclusive run on the channel. Tales From the Darkside, the syndicated horror series, will premiere later this year.
Three acclaimed miniseries, including two from Stephen King, will also premiere exclusively this fall. Invaders also stars Bakula, playing a man who discovers an alien conspiracy and attempts to foil the plot by warning the Earth of imminent danger. The Langoliers, originally one of four short stories in the King novel Four Past Midnight, stars Dean Stockwell and Patricia Wettig as passengers on a cross-country flight who awake to find that they and a small group of others are the only people left on Earth. The Stand, starring Gary Sinise and Molly Ringwald, takes place in a world decimated by a man-made plague.
The deal also includes five made-for-television movies: Inferno, Primal Force, Lost in the Bermuda Triangle, Sightings: Heartland Ghost and Trilogy of Terror II.
The other series in the deal include Wolf Lake; Kindred, the Embraced; Special Unit 2; Level 9; and All Souls.
