Several familiar faces are headed back to a TV near you in Continuum, a brand new science fiction series debuting this week on the Showcase channel in Canada.
Rachel Nichols (Alias) stars in the series as Kiera Cameron, a cop from the year 2077 who is swept back in time to the present day. Her mission is to stop a group of eight fanatical terrorists from the future, who are plotting to wipe out the future world as she knows it.
Stargate‘s Lexa Doig (“Carolyn Lam”) and Jennifer Spence (“Lisa Park”) are among the co-stars, as is Roger R. Cross. You may remember him better from 24, but back in the day Cross played Lieutenant/Captain Conner in the SG-1 episodes “The First Commandment” and “Spirits.”
Tony Amendola (“Bra’tac”) also appears in at least the first episode, as a terrorist leader. Also watch for Brian Markinson (Caprica), who played the artificial lifeform Lotan in SG-1‘s “Scorched Earth.”
Nichols recently appeared opposite Jason Momoa (Stargate Atlantis) in Conan the Barbarian. She played Rachel Gibson in the final season of Alias, and has also appeared on Criminal Minds and the feature film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
As the series shoots in Vancouver, British Columbia, more familiar faces from our favorite Vancouver shows are certain to show up in the 10 episodes that make up Season One.

Im looking forward to this show, hopefully it lasts...
I love Lexa! I hate Time Travel shows! Don't know what to do!
generic. wont watch.
will it be in the us
I also would like to know if we'll be able to see this in the U.S.
SyFy (sadly) are curently in talks to air it in the states, one saving grace is that if it does well in Canada and bombs on SyFy and they cancel it, it'll live on there
I've been stalking Lexa Doig since Tekwar!
I'll be looking forward to finding this on the SyFy Channel at some point.
Sounds a lot like Time Trax or TimeCop (the TV Series), both of which I enjoyed. Time Trax was better than TimeCop though.
Looks good enough for me to give it a try. I'm starving for a decent sci fi series.
It seems unbelievable that there was a time we had TV shows like SG-1, Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica on the same year, let alone the same night. While this is nowhere near that level in quality of those shows; I think I'll like it more than: Eureka, Warehouse 13 or Sanctuary.
Watched this last night and it looks good, very cool. Nifty future tech, decent acting for a pilot and the last couple minutes revealed a very large story arc between the present/future (present/past?) timelime. Can't wait to see more!!! And Vancouver gets to play itself for a change. :)
Very cool show love setting all the former Stargate actors can't wait for more!!
