Check out a new batch of images from TNT’s upcoming alien invasion TV show “Falling Skies” (formerly “Fallen Skies”, according to a new press release announcing the show’s Comic Con appearance). For a show with Noah Wyle in the lead and Steven Spielberg producing, it’s surprising that “Skies” hasn’t really gotten all that much press. That might change when the show makes its Comic Con debut, though.
In FALLING SKIES, Wyle stars as a former college professor who becomes the leader of a group of soldiers and civilians struggling against an occupying alien force. Bloodgood co-stars as Anne Glass, a therapist who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic situation. The series also stars Drew Roy (Lincoln Heights) as Hal and Maxim Knight (Brothers & Sisters) as Matt, Tom’s two sons; and Seychelle Gabriel (Weeds) as Lourdes, an orphaned teenager who helps run the group’s commissary. Will Patton (Armageddon, TNT’s Into the West) plays a fierce leader of the resistance.
The images mostly feature Noah Wyle and his rag-tag group of rebels. We still haven’t gotten any glimpses of the aliens themselves yet, so there’s that to look forward to.
Co-starring Will Patton, Seychelle Gabriel, Moon Bloodgood, Noah Wyle, Drew Roy, Dale Dye, Jessy Schram, Adam Butcher, and Maxim Knight.
Catch the show’s Comic Con panel this year on Friday, July 23, from 4:45 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. (PT) in Room 6A. Panelists on hand will include stars Noah Wyle and Moon Bloodgood, and co-executive producer and writer Mark Verheiden. No word of an advancing screening of the pilot, though, which probably means it’s not finished yet. You’ll just have to wait for the show to premiere in the Summer of 2011.
