Syfy will be launching its countdown to Christmas week, starting with the all new original four-hour miniseries,
Neverland. The show is a origin story about how the characters we all know and love from J.M. Barrie's classic become those characters.
Written and directed by Nick Willing, who directed the miniseries
Tin Man, as well as
Alice, which he also wrote,
Neverland will air over two consecutive nights, begining on December 4th.
The miniseries stars Charlie Rowe of
Pirate Radio as Peter Pan, Rhys Ifans, who many fans will know from
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, as James Hook, and Anna Friel of
Pushing Daisies as Captain Elizabeth Bonnie.
The three stars recently joined the press at the Syfy Digital Press Tour in Orlando, Florida to talk about the epic adventure.
