This is one reality series that actually sounds not only unique but fascinating. Syfy’s just announced details on Opposite Worlds, a reality competition series coming to the network on January 21, 2014 for a 12 episode first season run. The show sets itself apart from other competition series by pitting two teams against each other while living in two different worlds. Sounds confusing? Here’s the description offered by Syfy:
In Opposite Worlds, 14 people from all walks of life face off in opposing teams that live in a house separated into two distinctly different worlds: one past and one future, each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Adding to the drama is a glass wall dividing the house into the two environments, allowing the teams to watch, envy and dread each other’s every move.
Every week, as cast members compete in a series of fast-paced challenges, viewers will be asked to participate in real time on social media and affect the outcome of each player’s fate.”
“Building on the success of Defiance, Opposite Worlds delivers on Syfy’s on-going strategy to create fully immersive 360 transmedia experiences in both the scripted and now unscripted worlds,” stated Dave Howe, President, Syfy and Chiller. “It invites our audience, who thrive on seeking out what’s new and next, to participate in the ultimate multiplatform experience. And with Syfy’s first-ever weekly live series, they will have the opportunity to become a part of a groundbreaking social experiment, which engages them, as well as the players onscreen, to influence the show’s story-telling action and outcomes.”
Syfy plans to air the show over six weeks, with two episodes airing each week.
Based on the Chilean series Mundos Opuestos, Opposite Worlds is executive produced by JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Brant Pinvidic and Adam Kaloustian for Eyeworks USA.
