Production on the pilot is already underway casting has not yet been determined. As the crew nears their destination, they discover that the ship’s artificial intelligence and never-seen captain may be steering them into deadly and unspeakable horrors deep in the dark reaches of space. It is set in the future on the eve of Earth’s destruction and follows a crew of explorers who journey on the most advanced ship in the galaxy, the Nightflyer, to intercept a mysterious alien spacecraft that might hold the key to their survival. Nightflyers, picked up to pilot in June after being put into development in May, is based on Martin’s 1980 novella and the 1987 film of the same name. Martin’s 40-year-old novella of the same name, Nightflyers is.

Among them: UCP is negotiating with Netflix for a second window domestic and first window international streaming deal. Nightflyers stands apart because it asks which form of extraterrestrial contact humanity deserves. Representatives from the NBCUniversal-owned cable network and producers Universal Cable Productions declined comment as multiple deals are still in the works. Syfy is near a deal to pick up the Game of Thrones creator’s Nightflyersto series. 'The idea was to bring the story a bit closer to our contemporary world,' Buhler shared, as reported by ARS Technica. Instead of a lone ranger type ship that barely ever takes on passengers, Buhler's version of Martin's Nightflyers is more of a colony-building vessel. Martin has another drama coming to the small screen. The other significant difference is the spaceship itself.
