On tonight’s episode of Intruders, Richard learns of a secret that could threaten Rose’s position in the Nine. Despite his reluctance to stir things up with his bosses for fear of retribution, Richard wants to seek revenge on Rose for forcing him to kill Bill Anderson, an act he didn’t deem necessary to the interests of the organization. In order to expose Rose’s incriminating actions without putting himself in her crosshairs, Richard is going to have to find another channel in order to reveal the truth, some way that can’t be traced back to him no matter which way the Nine looks. Luckily, the carefulness and attention to detail that Richard has exhibited in his time as a shepherd should prove assets in his quest for vengeance, but is he really going to be able to outthink the entirety of the Nine?

Elsewhere on Intruders, Rose confronts Jack about the cause of Amy’s recent strange behavior, while the Seattle Police Department pursues Marcus Fox.

Intruders airs tonight at 10:00 on BBC America.

What secret about Rose do you think Richard will discover? Will Rose try to take Richard out since his knowledge could impact her ascension? How close will Seattle PD come to nabbing Madison?

On tonight’s episode of Intruders, Jack returns home from Seattle, still nursing bruises and scrapes from the fight he got into, and finds that Amy has returned on her own volition. As happy as he might want to be at seeing his beloved again, having pressed his nose against the glass case guarding her private life has caused him to become more cognizant of how she acts around him. He can no longer simply accept her presence as a good thing, nor can he allow himself to feel relieved at the knowledge that she’s physically alright; he now must try to read between the lines of how she conducts herself at home, from the music choices to the cryptic phrases she utters to the amount of warmth she shows him. Yet, it’s what he must do if he wants to figure out where she was while she was gone, what she meant by what she said in the cab, and what her absence could mean for his personal safety.

Elsewhere on Intruders, Madison becomes even more determined to get to Seattle and evade Richard’s vengeance.

Intruders airs tonight at 10:00 on BBC America.

Where do you think Amy was during the time that Jack couldn’t reach her? What type of collateral damage will Madison be forced to deal while trying to get to Seattle? How long will it be before she runs out of real estate and comes face to face with Richard?

The post Intruders 1.03 Sneak Peek: Amy Returns Home appeared first on TVHackr.

Created by Glen Morgan (The X-Files) and based on Michael Marshall Smith novel The Intruders, Intruders tells the story of a secret society who, in their quest for immortality, seek refuge in the bodies of others. Impacted by the presence of the society are former LAPD officer Jack Whelan (John Simm), as he begins investigating the mysterious disappearance of his wife Amy (Mira Sorvino); assassin Richard Shepherd (James Frain), who claims to be an FBI agent and embarks on a series of executions; and 9-year-old Madison (Millie Brown), who leaves home and faces the dangers of the world by herself.

It’s not an unusual practice for a cable network to make the series premiere of their latest scripted project available for free, but releasing two episodes at once is an interesting strategy for BBC America, one that could help build word-of-mouth and generate buzz around their original scripted programming. Though whether that buzz can translate into ratings remains to be seen, it’s encouraging to see networks trying creative strategies to help their programming stick out from the pack and it’s the type of decision-making that you want to see rewarded with strong ratings and solid momentum.

Intruders airs Saturdays at 10:00 on BBC America.

Will you be watching Intruders? What did you think about the show’s first episode? Should cable networks get in the habit of releasing multiple episodes to the public, if only to increase sampling for their scripted content?

Based on Michael Marshall Smith novel The Intruders and adapted for television by Glen Morgan (The X-Files), Intruders follows former LAPD office Jack Whelan (John Simm) as he looks into the disappearance of his wife Amy (Mira Sorvino). However, he soon discovers that her disappearance might be connected to a secret society devoted to immortality, whose members seek refuge in the bodies of others.

In addition to Simm, Sorvino, Frain, and Brown, Intruders stars Tory Kittles (True Detective), Sonya Salomaa (The Killing), and Daryl Shuttleworth (The L Word). The series is the latest original scripted series to come from BBC America, joining comedy Almost Royal and sci-fi drama Orphan Black.

Based on the Michael Marshall Smith novel and adapted for television by Glen Morgan (The X-Files), Intruders tells the story of a secret society devoted to seeking immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others. The series will juggle three separate storylines – a former LAPD cop (John Simm) looking for his missing wife (Mira Sorvino), an assassin (James Frain) embarking on a series of executions, a little girl (Millie Brown) running away from home and experiencing the danger that lurks in the world – until they coalesce sometime later in the eight-episode first season.

Intruders is the latest original scripted series to be aired by BBC America, joining the network’s current ranks of Almost Royal and Orphan Black. BBC America is also home to the American airings of Atlantis, In the Flesh, and The Musketeers, with original dramas The Last Kingdom and Tatau currently in development.

The series premiere of Intruders is set to air Saturday, August 23rd at 10:00 on BBC America, where it will immediately follow the season premiere of Doctor Who. You can check out an additional trailer for the series here, as well as four teasers here and a behind the scenes look here.

Along the way to finding her, he discovers that the world isn’t as he always perceived it. The series will have three distinct storylines that will coalesce at a latter point in the first season; in addition to Amy’s disappearance, Intruders chronicles an assassin (James Frain) embarks on a series of executions and a little girl (Millie Brown) running away from home and facing the dangerous world on her own.

The post Intruders: Get a Behind the Scenes Look at the Upcoming BBC America Drama appeared first on TVHackr.

Based on the Michael Marshall Smith book of the same name and developed for television by Glen Morgan (The X-Files), Intruders follows former LAPD cop Jack Whelan (John Simm) as he deals with the disappearance of his wife and the destruction of his seemingly perfect life. Along the way, he comes to realize that the disappearance is even more sinister that he realized, all the while an agent embarks on a series of executions and a little girl encounters a world of danger when she runs away from home. All three storylines will intersect based on their connection to a secret society devoted to chasing immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others.

In addition to Simm, Intruders stars Oscar winner Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite) as Amy Whelan, Jack’s missing wife; James Frain (The Tudors) as Agent Richard Shepherd; and Millie Brown (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland) as distraught runaway Madison.

Will you be watching Intruders? Does the trailer give you a better idea of what the show’s atmosphere will be like? Can BBC America catch lightning in a bottle again with a drama based on a small group of actors playing multiple roles apiece?

The post Intruders Trailer: It All Began with Death appeared first on TVHackr.

Adapted for television by Glen Morgan (Final Destination) from a novel by Michael Marshall Smith, Intruders tells the story of former LAPD cop Jack Whelan (Simm), whose quiet life with his wife Amy (Sorvino) gets interrupted when she goes missing. While his investigation goes on in the Pacific Northwest, sinister assassin Richard Shepherd embarks on a series of executions and distraught little girl Madison runs away from home, encountering a world of danger along the way. Soon enough, all three storylines interlink due to their connection to a secret society devoted to chasing immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others.

In addition to Simm and Sorvino, Intruders stars James Frain (The Tudors), Millie Brown (Once Upon a Time in Wonderland), and Tory Kittles (True Detective).

Intruders is set to premiere later this summer on BBC America. A premiere date should be announced in the coming weeks.

Will you be watching Intruders? Do you think the show can elegantly combine the three separate storylines and get the maximum impact out of its premise? How can a show with this type of premise keep itself afloat for multiple seasons?

The post Intruders Teasers: What Goes Around Comes Around appeared first on TVHackr.

“I am thrilled to be working with John Simm, one of the UK’s most exciting talents, on the realization of Michael Marshall Smith’s novel. The BBC has always broken new ground in this genre and I look forward to playing a part in that tradition. Together with directors, Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Stamm, we plan to put a whole new spin on creepy,” said series creator Glen Morgan (The X-Files).

Based on the Michael Marshall Smith novel of the same name and set in the Pacific Northwest, paranormal drama Intruders tells the story of a conspiracy that will change the way we think about humanity, a conspiracy that will lead Jack and several other people dealing with similar issues (an assassin covering his crimes, a child on the run) into the shadows. Can Jack manage to figure out what’s going on and find his wife before any harm comes to her? Or will digging into the conspiracy only drive him closer to madness?

In addition to his role as The Master on Doctor Who, Simm has appeared on the likes of State of Play, Life on Mars, and Mad Dogs. He’s the first person to be cast in Intruders, which was ordered to series this past October.

Will you be watching Intruders? Which actors or actresses would shine in a series like this? Would the show make a good companion for Orphan Black?
