Nightflyers is on its way to Netflix and a release date has now been announced. While George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones has taken over TV screens for high fantasy fans, it looks like Nightflyers could do the same for science-fiction fans. The intergalactic drama is due to arrive on Netflix on February 1 2019. Martin’s new show originally aired on SyFy in 2018, and will debut on Netflix next month.

But when terrifying and violent events begin to take place they start to question each other - and surviving the journey proves harder than anyone thought.” The show is spearheaded by Eoin Macken who plays leader of the Nightflyer expedition Karl D’Branin. Eoin is best known for his role as Sir Dwaine in Merlin, and The Night Shift’s Dr. T. C. Callahan. But while Karl attempts to keep everything calm and collected within the space ship, Thale (played by Sam Strike) is there to inadvertently cause problems.

Many images within the trailer show off members of the Nightflyer crew struggling to deal with some physical manifestations of their psyche. And the show’s tagline: “You can’t escape what’s inside,” hints at a brutal delve into each of the character’s mindsets. However as the ship ventures to the edge of the solar system to find new life, could the Nightflyer’s inhabitants be under some sort of effect brought on by aliens? Martin’s Nightflyers was originally written in 1985 and released as a novella, before being expanded into a larger version.

The film was adapted from the original novella, however, and didn’t include a number of details in the larger version. Netflix’s new Nightflyers version is based on the the novel, and will follow the crew and their journey through space. This will be the first on-screen adaptation of Martin’s work since the arrival of the wildly popular Game of Thrones. Nightflyers will launch on Netflix on 1 February 2019.All rights reserved for this news site express.co.uk and under his responsibility
