“Hunters” Showrunner, Star Ask Larger Questions About Aliens & Human Nature

Inspired by Whitley Strieber’s “Alien Hunter” series of novels, Syfy’s “Hunters” tells the story of Flynn (Nathan Phillips), an FBI agent with a dark past searching for answers in the wake of his wife’s disappearance. That search leads him to a secret government unit whose goal is to hunt down a mysterious group of terrorists who may have allegiances beyond this earth. One of the key figures he will encounter is Regan (Britne Oldford), a government asset who may have some secrets of her own.

At New York Comic Con, Oldford joined Executive Producer Natalie Chaidez in the world famous CBR Tiki Room for a chat with Jonah Weiland about their new series, the twists and turns inherent in an alien conspiracy tale, and how the project came about. Oldford discusses growing up geek while Chaidez explains the benefits of shooting in Melbourne, Australia and what she thinks will help the series stand out amid a crowded television landscape.
