Synopsis
Watch Nightflyers (2018) online on iFILM — a sci-fi thriller series from Syfy, adapted from George R.R. Martin's 1980 novella. The year is 2093, and the crew of the Nightflyer, the most advanced spacecraft ever launched, sets out to make first contact at the edge of the solar system.
The mission sounds clean: find an alien life form, study it, get back. It doesn't stay clean. Before the ship gets anywhere near its target, the crew starts coming apart — hallucinations, unexplained deaths, a sense that the vessel itself is working against them. The cast includes Gretchen Mol, Eoin Macken, Jodie Turner-Smith, and Brian F. O'Byrne across a tight 10-episode single season.
Martin wrote the source novella as a haunted-house story set in space, and the adaptation leans hard into that — the horror comes from confinement and mistrust, not alien design. A compact, claustrophobic watch for fans of psychological science fiction. Stream all episodes of Nightflyers on iFILM.
