RACHEL NICHOLS AND VICTOR WEBSTER STAR IN CONTINUUM, SHAW MEDIA’S NEW ORIGINAL DRAMA SERIES

Reunion Pictures today announced that production is underway on Continuum, an original one hour drama-action series about a policewoman from 2077 who travels back in time and teams with a present day cop to track down escaped convicts from her future. Continuum is slated to premiere in Canada on Shaw Media’s specialty channel, Showcase in spring 2012.

When a group of fanatical terrorists escapes their planned execution in the year 2077, they vault back in time to the year 2012, sweeping dedicated CPS Protector, Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), along with them. Stuck in the past and unable to get back to her husband and son, Kiera concentrates on bringing down the terrorists before they can wreak havoc in our present. Kiera receives unexpected assistance from a teen tech genius Alec Sadler (Erik Knudson). Impersonating a member of local law enforcement, Kiera also forms an uneasy alliance with her detective partner Carlos Fonnegra (Victor Webster).

“We’ve been excited about this show from the day Simon Barry told us the story,” says Reunion Pictures Tom Rowe. “It’s attracted a lot of terrific talent on both sides of the camera. Shaw Media shares our belief that smart writing, a great cast and a highly creative production team will bring us all success.”

Starring Rachel Nichols (Criminal Minds, Alias) Victor Webster (Castle, Melrose Place) Erik Knudson (Jericho, Scream 4) the cast also includes Stephen Lobo (Smallville, Little Mosque On The Prairie), Roger Cross (The Gates, Fringe), Lexa Doig (V, Stargate SG-I), Omari Newton (Blue Mountain State, Sophie), Luvia Petersen (The L Word), and Terry Chen (Combat Hospital).

Continuum is created by Executive Producer Simon Barry (The Art of War) while Jeff King (White Collar, The Black Donnellys) is Executive Producer/Show Runner. Reunion Pictures partner Tom Rowe is Executive Producer. Directors for the series include Emmy Award winner and DGA nominee Jon Cassar (24, The Kennedys, Terra Nova) and Patrick Williams (Shattered) who also serves as Executive Producer. The creative team includes the Emmy nominated Director of Photography Joel Ransom ( Band of Brothers, Camelot, The X Files) and Production Designer Chris August (Battle In Seattle, War).

Filmed on location in Vancouver, BC, Continuum is developed and produced by Reunion Pictures.

Randal Edwards (The Best Years) Guest Stars. Mitch is given the task of defending Judd Grafton, a gambler (Randal Edwards) wrongly accused of murder. Meanwhile, Mitch and Abby take a huge risk by enlisting Kincross & Grant to help them.

In the season finale, a day of revelations and danger builds to the ultimate showdown between Todd and Atticus at the Crowley High Semi-Formal.

In addition, INNERSPACE co-host Ajay Fry will be moderating a live chat during the finale on Spacecast.com. Participating in the one hour live chat are Alex House (Todd), Craig David Wallace (Executive Producer / Co-Creator / Director / Writer) and Charles Picco (Co-Creator / Writer).
