NYCC: SyFy’s Hunters Trailer

Walking Dead Producer’s New Series Premieres at NYCC

Syfy’s Hunters is a 13-episode scripted sci-fi series from Walking Dead executive producer Gale Anne Hurd and 12 Monkeys executive producer Natalie Chaidez, who will also serve as writer. It’s from Universal Cable Productions with Valhalla Entertainment producing.

The series is premiering in 2016 and is based on Whitley Strieber’s best-selling novel Alien Hunter. The disappearance of a Philadelphia cop’s wife leads him to a secret government unit assembled to hunt a group of ruthless terrorists – shadowy figures that may or may not be from this world.

“We were so impressed by the pilot script from this outstanding and accomplished creative team led by Gale Anne Hurd and Natalie Chaidez,” says Syfy president Dave Howe. “This fast-paced and innovative story takes viewers inside a chilling yet all too familiar world. Adding Hunters to new series such as The Expanse, 12 Monkeys, and the miniseries Childhood’s End, provides us with a formidable lineup of diverse, high-end science fiction.”

“As a longtime fan of Whitley’s, I am absolutely thrilled to collaborate with everyone at Syfy and UCP, as well as the uber-talented showrunner, Natalie Chaidez, to bring Hunters to life,” said Hurd.
