Continuum’s winning hybrid

From Diane Wild of Canadian Screenwriter:

  • Continuum Writers Create Winning Hybrid
    Survey the Canadian television landscape today and you’ll find successful police procedurals and sci-fi/fantasy as far as the eye can see. Is there something in the water? We do do it well. And if you take those two genre successes, splice them together, you get the hybrid Continuum, the Simon Barry-led cop show that has time travel at its conceptual centre. So it might be something of a surprise that the concept wasn’t geared specifically for the well-primed Canadian market. Read more.

The epic first season concluded with the most-watched finale in Showcase history.*

In the season finale titled ”Endtimes,” Kiera raced against the clock trying to prevent a Liber8 bombing, which ultimately killed hundreds of innocent people.

Continuum, Showcase – “A Test of Time”
Kagame’s return begins with a reset of Liber8’s agenda, away from violence and towards blending into the community. But there may be a glitch – there is the possibility that if their ancestors living in this time are murdered, they might cease to exist. A test of this theory is devised with Kiera and her grandmother as the guinea pigs. Written by Jeff King, directed by Patrick Williams.
