The NBCUniversal-owned cable network has greenlighted the six-hour miniseries Childhood's End, based on Arthur C. Clarke's classic novel. The project was put in development in April 2013.
First published in 1953, Childhood's End follows a 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.
"The powerful themes of Childhood’s End, from the fearsome price of peace and prosperity, to the very question of what constitutes a human being, remain fascinating and timeless. This will be the most ambitious project for Syfy in many years.”
