Syfy UK Picks Up Supernatural Drama Midnight, Texas

Syfy UK has acquired the supernatural thriller Midnight, Texas from NBCUniversal International Distribution.

The show is based on the best-selling book series by writer Charlaine Harris, author of the novels that inspired True Blood. Midnight, Texas will have its U.K. broadcast premiere on Syfy UK in July.

The ten-episode series stars François Arnaud (Blindspot) as part of an ensemble cast that also includes Dylan Bruce (Orphan Black), Parisa Fitz-Henley (Luke Cage), Arielle Kebbel (The Vampire Diaries), Jason Lewis (Sex and the City), Peter Mensah (True Blood), Sarah Ramos (Parenthood) and Yul Vazquez (Captain Phillips).

“As the ultimate science-fiction fan, Syfy puts great storytelling at the heart of what we do,” commented Chrystele Fremaux, the VP of programming for the U.K. and emerging markets at NBCUniversal International Networks. ”Supernatural drama Midnight, Texas—with its community of vampires, witches, werewolves, psychics and other-worldly characters—is a perfect choice for Syfy viewers who come to us to Imagine Greater.”
