‘Childhood’s End’ Trailer: You Will All Flourish Here
When aliens finally come to visit Earth, what will they be like and what will they do? If they’re the Overlords in Syfy’s newest miniseries, adapted from Arthur C. Clarke’s 1953 sci-fi classic Childhood’s End, then they’ll usher in a new wave of peace and prosperity. The world is a place with no war or disease, where one man named Ricky Stormgren (Mike Vogel, Under the Dome) is the only messenger between Overlord ambassador Karellen (Charles Dance, Game of Thrones) and the two species. But not everyone is happy about their new lives, like Jake Greggson (Ashley Zukerman, Manhattan) who believes there’s a price to pay for their new freedom. The three-night event from Matthew Graham (Life on Mars) premieres this December, and EW has debuted the first trailer. [EW]
