“Brothers & Sisters” alum Luke MacFarlane, Hannah John-Kamen and Aaron Ashmore have been cast as the leads in Syfy’s newest scripted series “Killjoys,” the cable network announced Tuesday.
From Temple Street Productions, the producers of “Orphan Black,” and Michelle Lovretta, the creator of “Lost Girl” who also serves as writer and showrunner, “Killjoys” follows a trio of interplanetary bounty hunters sworn to remain impartial as they chase deadly warrants throughout the Quad, a distant system on the brink of a bloody, multi-planetary class war.
