Falling Skies

The new TNT series Falling Skies will have a two-hour debut at 9 PM on June 19. The series will then move to its regular timeslot on Sundays at 10 PM the following week.

This is a Steven Spielberg sci-fi drama about the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. In the six months since the initial invasion, the few survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers work to protect the people in their care while also engaging in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force. The cast includes Noah Wyle (ER), who plays Tom Mason, a Boston history professor, Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation) as Anne Glass, a pediatrician who works with the surviving children to help them cope with the traumatic upheaval in their lives, Will Patton (Armageddon) who plays Weaver, a fierce leader of the resistance.

The cast also includes Drew Roy (Hannah Montana and Secretariat) as Tom’s oldest son, Maxim Knight (Brothers & Sisters) as Tom’s youngest son; Connor Jessup (The Saddle Club) as Tom’s son who was captured by aliens; and Seychelle Gabriel (Weeds and The Last Airbender) as an orphaned teenager who helps Anne in the group’s makeshift medical clinic. Colin Cunningham (Stargate SG-1) and Sarah Carter (Shark) also star.
