Callan McAuliffe (I Am Number Four) will star in the ABC Family series Beyond which is about to start shooting in Vancouver, BC. The one hour supernatural drama from writer/executive producer Adam Nussdorf (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland) has Jordan Calloway, Dilan Gwyn, Romy Rosemont, Michael McGrady, and Burkely Duffield set for co-starring roles.

Tim Kring, Zak Kadison, Justin Levy and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones are on board as executive producers.

The Plot:

Holden (McAuliffe) wakes up in a hospital not realizing he’s been in a coma for 12 years – emotionally still a teenager, physically an adult, and possibly in possession of supernatural powers. Jordan Calloway portrays Holden’s childhood best friend, Kevin, now a therapist, who is haunted by guilt after the incident that put Holden in a coma. Dilan Gwyn stars as Willa, a beautiful woman who appears to be interested in Holden and who warns him he is in great danger. Romy Rosemont plays Holden’s mother, Diane, who has refused to give up on Holden throughout his coma and now is determined to protect him.

Michael McGrady costars as Holden’s father, Tom, who is emotionally withdrawn after his son’s ordeal and defers to his wife, Diane. Burkely Duffield rounds out the cast as Holden’s clever younger brother, Luke, who grew up in the shadow of his brother’s tragedy and is now faced with a brother who knows less about the world than he does.
