CHILDHOOD’S END, the three-night, six-hour Syfy original event series, today earned a Critics’ Choice Award nomination from the Broadcast Television Journalists Association in the “Best Movie Made For Television or Limited Series” category on the same day it premieres on Syfy.
Hailed as a “entirely compelling drama” by The Wall Street Journal, CHILDHOOD’S END features a star-studded cast led by Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), Mike Vogel (Under the Dome), Daisy Betts (Last Resort), Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck), Colm Meaney (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Osy Ikhile (The Fear) and Yael Stone (Orange is the New Black). Universal Cable Productions is the studio.
Premiering tonight from 8-10PM ET/PT and continuing Tuesday, December 15 and Wednesday, December 16, CHILDHOOD’S END follows the bloodless takeover of Earth by the alien Overlords, who usher in a golden age of peace, health and security for all of humankind. But why do the Overlords insist on hiding their appearance – and what do they ultimately want?
CHILDHOOD’S END kicks off a landmark week of premieres for Syfy. On Monday, December 14 and Tuesday, December 15 at 10PM ET/PT, the 10-part series THE EXPANSE will have its two-night premiere, before joining its regular slot at 10PM ET/PT on Tuesdays. And just last week, the network announced that it would air a commercial-free sneak peek of THE MAGICIANS on Wednesday, December 16 at 10PM ET/PT, immediately following the finale of CHILDHOOD’S END. A 13-part adaptation of the beloved Lev Grossman novels, THE MAGICIANS will make its premiere on Syfy on January 25, 2016.
Additionally, Critics’ Choice Awards winner FACE OFF once again earned a nomination for “Best Reality Show – Competition,” following its win in the same category earlier this year. The Syfy hit series returns with an all-new season on Wednesday, January 13, 2016.
