Syfy Picks Up Original Web Series 'The Mercury Men'
First on WebNewser: In a significant expansion of its original digital offerings, Syfy has picked up a new, 10-part science fiction web series, “The Mercury Men.”
“It is a modern web series that hearkens back to ‘Flash Gordon’ and ‘Buck Rogers,'” Craig Engler, senior VP of Syfy Digital tells WebNewser. “It is black and white, there is a ray-gun, there is a brain in a jar, you don’t see brains in jars anymore!”
The web series does not have a premiere date yet, as the network is currently looking at which of its television properties it wants to launch it with.
