Syfy releases a new trailer for its anticipated adventure thriller 12 Monkeys, which will make its series premiere on Friday, January 16 at 9pm ET/PT.  Inspired by the classic blockbuster film, 12 Monkeys explores the provocative story of a time traveler from a decimated future in a high-stakes race against the clock. Utilizing a dangerous and untested method of time travel, he journeys from 2043 to the present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will all but annihilate the human race. The series is produced by Universal Cable Productions in association with Atlas Entertainment, producer of the original theatrical film.

“Our Future Is History” is the title theme to the new series, based on the film of the same name. But don’t let the fact that its based on the film deter you, because although the basic premise is based on the film, this is not a cover series for the movie. The series verges away from the film and becomes its own thing. The series stars Aaron Stanford in the role of title character Cole, which was played by Bruce Willis in the film and Amanda Schull who plays Katrina Bennett.

Co-Executive Producer Travis Fickett says “The story might not be linear, but the emotional journey is.” Schull was excited at the idea of working on a series that involved time traveling saying “It’s every actors dream to do time travel with alternate realities.” The series is currently filming in Toronto and just wrapped up episode 10.
