Netflix Orders Season 2 of Sci-Fi Series TRAVELERS, Starring Eric McCormack

Variety reports that Netflix has ordered a second season of the sci-fi series TRAVELERS, starring Eric McCormack. Season One premiered on Showcase in Canada in October, before launching globally in December. Recently, NBC announced that McCormack will star in an upcoming revival of "Will & Grace."

About the show: Hundreds of years from now, the last surviving humans discover the means of sending consciousness back through time, directly into people in the 21st century. These "travelers" assume the lives of seemingly random people, while secretly working as teams to perform missions in order to save humanity from a terrible future. These travelers are: FBI Special Agent Grant MacLaren (Eric McCormack), the team's leader; Marcy (Mackenzie Porter), a young, intellectually disabled woman in the care of her social worker, David (Patrick Gilmore);Trevor (Jared Paul Abrahamson), a high school quarterback; Carly (Nesta Marlee Cooper), a single mom in an abusive relationship; and Philip (Reilly Dolman), a heroin-addicted college student. Armed only with their knowledge of history and an archive of social media profiles, the travelers discover that 21st century lives and relationships are as much a challenge as their high-stakes missions.

The series is written, created and produced by WGC and Gemini Award winner Brad Wright, co-creator of the Emmy Award nominated Stargate SG-1 and creator of related franchises Stargate: ATLANTIS and SGU, and features a heavily Canadian cast led by Emmy Award winner Eric McCormack (Will & Grace).
