Max Chadburn and Tori Katongo are busy filming episodic drama for Syfy “Aftermath” – a 13-episode Canadian post-apocalyptic thriller series from Noreen Halpern’s Halfire Entertainment, which is set to premiere on Syfy in the U.S. and Bell Media’s Space in Canada later this summer. Production began May 2 in Vancouver.
Created by William Laurin (Missing, Power Play) and Glenn Davis (John Woo’s Once a Thief), Aftermath centers on couple Karen and Joshua Copeland and their children Dana, Brianna and Matt, who must battle for survival after civilization comes to an apocalyptic end, triggered by massive storms, meteor strikes, earthquakes and plague – and the rise of supernatural creatures.
The Killing alums Julie Sarah Stone and Levi Meaden, and Taylor Hickson (Deadpool) play the three siblings coming of age in the Apocalypse. Stone is Dana Copeland, the practical, sardonic and quick-witted twin with a thorough knowledge of science. Hickson is the emotional, romantic and rebellious twin, Brianna Copeland. Meaden plays Matt Copeland, the fierce competitor pushed into brutality. Guest stars include Leslie Hope (Tyrant, 24), who will also direct two episodes.
