EXCLUSIVE: Star Trek icon Jonathan Frakes is to direct a ten-part series based on novel and audio book Deathlands.
The series comes from NextCypher, the indie that crypto pioneer Jeff Garzik launched last year, and is set to begin shooting in Sofia, Bulgaria, this spring. When we first told about the show in August 2022, Garzik described it as “Mad Max: Fury Road meets Yellowjackets in an epic post-apocalyptic sci-fi adventure.”
Mark A. Altman (Pandora, Agent X) as the showrunner and executive producer. Thomas P. Vitale (Slasher, 57 Seconds) and Garzik are also executive producers. Christine Sheaks (Boogie Nights, Fargo) is handling global casting efforts.
Frakes — known for his role as Commander William Riker in Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Picard and several Star Trek movies — is directing. “One of the things that I find so compelling about Deathlands is that it’s a series about hope and the chance to build a better world,” he said. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring this show, combining feature level action and compelling character drama, to the world.”
Deathlands began life as a series of novels from James Axler, first published in 1986 as a joint project between Axler and Jack Adrian. They are set in a post-Apocalyptic world 100 years after a nuclear exchange between U.S. and Soviet Union, in which a mutated, crazed civilization is beginning to reemerge. The stories follow Ryan Cawthor and a band of survivors, who travel the ‘Deathlands’ using a teleportation technology they have uncovered.
Along with the Star Trek franchise, Frakes is known for roles in NCIS and unscripted series Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. As a director, he has credits for shows such Roswell and Burn Notice. He is set
