“From”: Epix’s Shocking Teaser Prepares for a Horde of Monsters [Video]
Epix shares the first teaser for “From”, the company’s upcoming contemporary sci-fi horror series that unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town in Middle America that traps all those who enter.
“As the unwilling residents fight to keep a sense of normalcy and search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the surrounding forest – including the terrifying creatures that come out when the sun goes down.”
Epix comes out swinging with the first footage, showing a town locking a man in some sort of animal cage and promising he’s in for the worst night of his life. A horde of something come busting through its walls.
“Lost” veteran Harold Perrineau is the town’s sheriff and is shown locking the man into the cage. As one of the leads, Epix tells us that the sheriff’s “Draconian rules have held the fragile town together, even as he searches for a way to escape this seemingly inescapable nightmare.”
It also stars Oscar-nominated actress Catalina Sandino Moreno (“American Gothic,” “The Affair”) and Eion Bailey (“Band Brothers,” “The Stand”).
With the teaser also comes news of the premiere date for the series: February 20, 2022. Watch for more soon.
Himesh Patel (Tenet, Don’t Look Up) will star opposite Danielle Deadwyler (The Woman in the Yard) in Ryan Coogler’s reboot of “The X-Files“, which has wrapped filming on the pilot.
Patel confirmed the news in a chat with The Direct, while reiterating that he and Deadwyler play new characters.
“I don’t want to say anything that’s going to get me disappeared. Needless to say, myself and Danielle Deadwyler are playing completely new characters, and we just wrapped on the pilot. If we get to do more… we’ll see where we go from there,” Patel said.
That last sentence is noteworthy, as Patel is reminding that Hulu has only ordered the pilot so far. A full series order has yet to be greenlit.
It’s a good reminder, considering that Hulu also ordered a pilot for the “Buffy: New Sunnydale” reboot that was filmed and delivered earlier this year, only for the streamer to send shockwaves when it opted not to move forward with the series.
As for “The X-Files” pilot, Sinners filmmaker Ryan Coogler writes and directs the pilot. Jennifer Yale (“The Copenhagen Test”) serves as showrunner.
Himesh Patel and Danielle Deadwyler play two highly decorated but vastly different FBI agents who form an unlikely bond when they are assigned to a long-shuttered division devoted to cases involving unexplained phenomena.
Patel and Deadwyler previously co-starred together on “Station Eleven.”
Other actors who have signed on for guest roles include Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi, Ben Foster, Devery Jacobs, Lochlyn Munro, Tantoo Cardinal, Joel D. Montgrand, and Sofia Grace Clifton.
“The X-Files” originally ran for nine seasons between 1993 and 2002, with two additional seasons arriving in 2016 and 2018. 218 episodes were produced in total, along with two feature films: 1998’s The X-Files: Fight the Future and 2008’s The X-Files: I Want to Believe.
