In our first episode, we discuss what we know about Killjoys so far, including the premise, the characters, and the production team. Look for episode discussions when the show premieres on June 19.
Premise
- Killjoys follows a fun-loving, hard living trio of interplanetary bounty hunters sworn to remain impartial as they chase deadly warrants throughout the Quad, a distant system on the brink of a bloody, multiplanetary class war.
- Reminiscent of Firefly, though that series took place after a civil war rather than before
Cast & Crew
- Creator Michelle Lovretta also created Lost Girl and several Lost Girl writers also seem to be on board for this show
- Produced by Temple Street, who also produces Orphan Black
- Hannah John-Kamen stars as the “gorgeous, complicated, and deadly Dutch. A top-level Killjoy, she’s a much loved and charming presence in her community, with a unique gift for earning people’s trust and respect regardless of their class. Under her banter and protective flirtations, there is a dark secret past.”
- Relative newcomer with only 14 credits on IMDb, including 4 episodes of Happy Valley and voice work for the Dark Souls video games
- Aaron Ashmore is in the role of John Jaqobis, “a peacemaker who hates conflict. “Cheerful and kind-hearted, John prefers not to fight, but his sarcastic wit has put him into the fray enough over the years to teach him how to do it well, and dirty.”
- Several recurring roles on Smallville, Warehouse 13, Lost Girl, and Veronica Mars
- Luke Macfarlane plays D’avin, “a handsome, rugged, sarcastic, and incredibly loyal former soldier. He dreamed of enlisting in the military since boyhood, and his hard-won expertise in tactics, maneuvers and hand-to-hand combat make him an instant asset to the Killjoy team.”
- Had a recurring role on Brothers & Sisters
