Syfy, the media destination for imagination-based entertainment, and Philips, the global leader in lighting, announce the continuation of their award-winning partnership with Syfy's upcoming, highly anticipated epic series, The Expanse.
Building on the success of Syfy's Sharknado 2 and 12 Monkeys, Syfy and Philips Hue will offer viewers the ability to enhance The Expanse experience with a unique "light track" that uses audio cues and translates them into ambient lighting effects. For each episode in the 10-episode series, the Philips Hue bulbs change color and intensity to reflect scenes in the show, adding heightened engagement and a new dimension to immersive television. The Expanse, the most ambitious series in Syfy history, will premiere fourth quarter 2015. Based on The New York Times' bestselling series, The Expanse stars Thomas Jane (The Punisher, Hung), Steven Strait (Magic City, City Island) and Shohreh Aghdashloo (24, The House of Sand and Fog). The thrilling series is set two hundred years in the future, after mankind has colonized the solar system. A hardened detective (Jane) and a ROGUE ship's captain (Strait) come together for what starts as the case of a missing young woman and evolves into a race across the solar system to expose the greatest conspiracy in human history.To download Syfy Sync:
