Syfy’s picked up Opposite Worlds for broadcast in the US. The network acquired the rights from Canal 13 and plans on airing two episodes a week over a six week period. Announcing the acquisition, Mark Stern, President, Original Content, Syfy, and Co-Head, Original Content, Universal Cable Productions stated:
Opposite Worlds has become an absolute phenomenon. This groundbreaking, edgy program is a remarkable television experiment transporting the audience and the contestants into starkly opposite worlds, simultaneously. This will be a terrific addition to our prime time schedule which will fascinate Syfy viewers and invite them to play a part in the action and outcome.”
The Plot:
In Opposite Worlds, twenty people from all walks of life are mixed together in two opposing teams that live in two distinctly different worlds – the Past and the Future. The Future is a Utopia where every wish can be granted with a push of a button; the Past is a constant struggle for survival. Each week, players compete in a series of challenges to determine who lives in the Past and who lives in the Future.
