A new sci-fi series “Helix” is set to premiere on Showcase in January of the new year.
Starring Billy Campbell (“The Killing,” “Killing Lincoln”) and Hiroyuki Sanada (“The Wolverine,” “47 Ronin”), “Helix” is executive produced by Ronald D. Moore (“Battlestar Galactica,” “Outlander”), Steven Maeda (“Lost,” “The X-Files”) who is also showrunner, and Lynda Obst (“Sleepless in Seattle,” “Contact”). The 13-episode drama is currently filming in Montreal.
“Helix” is an intense thriller about a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control who travel to the high-tech research facility, Arctic BioSystems, to investigate a possible disease outbreak, only to find themselves pulled into a terrifying life-and-death struggle that may hold the key to mankind’s salvation or total annihilation. However, the lethal threat is just the tip of the iceberg, and as the virus evolves, the chilling truth begins to unravel.
