The cast of the sci-fi series took part in a panel at the 2018 San Diego Comic Con as well as roundtable interviews with the press. Paired together to discuss the show, Eoin Macken (The Night Shift) and Jodie Turner-Smith (The Last Ship) talked about the appeal of being a part of Nightflyers. They also chatted about their characters (Karl D’Branin and Melantha Jhirl), the sets, and Martin’s book.
The Nightflyers Plot:
“Set in the year 2093, Nightflyers follows a team of scientists aboard The Nightflyer, the most advanced ship ever built, as they embark on a journey to find other life forms. Their mission takes them to the edge of the solar system, and to the edge of insanity, as they realize true horror isn’t waiting for them in outer space—it’s already on their ship.”
