I have not been this excited about something on Syfy for a very long time. Childhood’s End is one of my favorite books and I’ve wanted to see it get a treatment on the big or little screen for as long as I could remember.
Syfy made the announcement today that they’d be making a couple four hour miniseries based off of Larry Niven’s Ringworld, and Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End. The new shows will join other projects that include Philip K. Dick’s The Man In The High Castle, Stephen King’s Eyes Of The Dragon, and Darkfall.
