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.

If you think you know the story of Peter Pan, think again. Tonight Syfy will premiere the first half of its four-hour original miniseries, Neverland, which will conclude tomorrow night. The story is a prequel - an origin story, penned by Nick Willing, who previously directed the Syfy miniseries Alice, which he also wrote, and Tin Man. If you have watched either of those, you probably already have an idea that Neverland, although containing bits of the classic, will stand on its own.
The all new Syfy original miniseries Neverland, which debuts Sunday December 4 and concludes Monday, is a prequel to J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. The show was written and directed by Nick Willing, who previously directed Syfy's mininseries Tin Man, and also Alice, for which he served as writer as well.
It was another slow week on The Walking Dead. In TWD time Sophia has only been missing three days, but in viewer time this is week four and Darryl is the only person who cares if she's still alive. More and more it looks like the search for the missing child is simply a device to develop Darryl's character. And while it seems to be working (if forum chatter is any indication, he's a very popular character), viewers are increasingly frustrated with the glacial pace of this season's storytelling.
It never seems to fail that just as you get into a show and the storylines seem to be taking new twists and turns and leave you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next episode, they announce that this will be their last season. Sadly, we must put Chuck on that list of last season showings.
