Halfire Entertainment, Syfy, and Space recently announced that real-life couple James Tupper (Revenge, Men in Trees) and Anne Heche (Hung, Men in Trees) will star as husband and wife in the new post-apocalyptic thriller Aftermath. Production on the series will kick off May 9th in Vancouver.
Created by William Laurin and Glenn Davis, and produced by Halfire Entertainment in association with Syfy and Bell Media’s Space, the 13-episode series will premiere on Syfy in the United States and Space in Canada this summer.
Tupper and Heche will play Joshua and Karen Copeland who, along with their three teenagers, must battle for survival after civilization comes to an apocalyptic end, triggered by devastating natural disasters – and the rise of supernatural creatures.
Tupper and Heche join co-stars Julia Sarah Stone (The Killing, Falling Skies) and Taylor Hickson (Deadpool) who play their twin daughters Dana and Brianna, as well as Levi Meaden (The Killing, Olympus) who portrays their eldest son Matt.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have James Tupper and Anne Heche take on the roles of Joshua and Karen Copeland,” said Noreen Halpern, President of Halfire Entertainment, in a press release. “They are both such incredibly talented actors and no better way to create a family on screen then starting with a real one.”
