Sci-fi series debuts January 23 on TNT
A rare scripted newcomer from the recently downsized TNT—and it's an acquisition from the UK rather than an original production—this eight-hour series follows a secretive organization that has the ability to send the world back in time whenever the planet is faced with an existential threat, leaving only a handful of people to remember the events thus erased. The series comes from Giri/Haji creator Joe Barton and stars Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You) alongside Tom Burke, Anjli Mohindra, and Caroline Quentin. Production on a second season is now underway in the UK, though it is unclear if TNT has already committed to carrying it.
