ABC’s new sci-fi thriller V will make its debut on ABC tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT – as Earth deals with is first major alien encounter. With huge spaceships appearing over 29 cities around the world, the Visitors (or V’s) seem to promote a message of peace. They offer to share their advanced technology and quickly build a following – making many overlook their real agenda.
In the premiere episode, “Pilot,” an image of Anna (Morena Baccarin), the leader of the V’s, is projected worldwide as she speaks about everyone joining together and no longer being divided by country or separated by fear.
As expected, the V’s become a fascination and almost a subject of worship to many. For Tyler (Logan Huffman), a teenaged boy, the V’s are his ticket to being a part of something big and something that offers hope. To Chad (Scott Wolf), an egotistical news anchor who wants to further his career, his exclusive interview with Anna begins his desire to dominate the airwaves. Father Jack (Joel Gretsch), a priest with questioning faith, is hesitant to believe in the Visitors’ righteousness and goes outside of the church in search of the truth.
There are other dissidents who believe the Visitors aren’t who they say they are, including Ryan (Morris Chestnut), who is faced with a life-altering decision when the V’s show up. And to FBI Counter Terrorist Agent Erica Evans (Elizabeth Mitchell), who discovers, while investigating a terrorist cell, what lurks beneath the alarmingly human exterior of the Visitors, resisting this new world has never been more important — and never has there been more at stake.
Guest starring in “Pilot” are Alan Tudyk as Dale Maddox, Jesse Wheeler as Brandon, Britt Irvin as Haley Gordon, David Richmond-Peck as Georgie, Christopher Shyer as Marcus, Scott Hylands as Father Travis and Stefan Arngrim as Roy. V is actual a remake of the 1980s miniseries about the world’s first encounter with an alien race.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, ABC will air four episodes of V in November, and then return with more episodes in March. Do you plan to watch V?
