Premiering December 14 on SyFy (8 pm et/pt), “Childhood’s End” centers on the invasion of Earth by an alien race called the Overlords. Offering humans a utopian society, the meeting starts off to a promising start but any kind of takeover has its drawbacks.
Based on Arthur C. Clarke’s seminal book, “Childhood’s End” questions a future that takes a look at the sacrifices humanity may endure if alien contact is achieved.
“This is the beauty of the show”, says Mike Vogel, who plays a human who has direct contact with the Overlords. “It asks these large questions. You think that you want this thing and in a bubble it sounds fantastic for ten minutes. And then you start to realize the implications of that and what it means. You would lose self-expression”.
