Have you seen the teaser for Syfy’s upcoming adaptation of the 1953 sci-fi novel by Arthur C. Clarke, Childhood’s End?

Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), who will play Karellen, the ambassador for the Overlords, gives us a taste of what we can expect in the teaser below!

About Childhood’s End
Written by Arthur C. Clarke and hailed as a revolutionary work of science fiction since its publishing in 1953, Childhood’s End follows the peaceful alien invasion of Earth by the mysterious “Overlords,” whose arrival begins decades of apparent utopia under indirect alien rule, at the cost of human identity and culture.

Charles Dance (Game of Thrones) will play Karellen, the ambassador for the Overlords. Mike Vogel (Under the Dome) will play Ricky Stormgren, a midwestern farmer whose life is turned upside down when he is named the sole human ambassador for the Overlords. Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck) will play Rupert Boyce, an enigmatic American entrepeneur.

Akiva Goldsman (Lone Survivor, A Beautiful Mind, I Am Legend) and Mike De Luca (Captain Philips, Moneyball, The Social Network) are attached as executive producers. Childhood’s End will be adapted by Matthew Graham (creator of BBC’sLife on Mars and Ashes to Ashes).

Well, I’m definitely intrigued! And I typically love Syfy’s three night event miniseries so I am totally on board! I cannot wait to watch this come December! In the meantime, I must read the book! Will you be watching and/or reading?
