Riese: Kingdom Falling Arrives on Syfy.co.uk

It was back in October 2009 that, thanks to my friend Lord Shaper over at The Furnace, I first came across the steampunk/fantasy adventure webseries Riese. The teaser trailer and promotional images really whetted my appetite and when the series launched the following month I thought it was fantastic.

As the creators of Riese concluded chapter 1 of their story and launched chapter 2 they announced the exciting news of a development/distribution deal for the series that, despite some anticipated - and inevitable - short-term delays would be great news for the longer-term future of the series.

Then last October news arrived that the series - now named Riese: Kingdom Falling - would be broadcast twice-weekly via Syfy.com with an international release following soon after.

For viewers in the UK that moment will soon arrive as Syfy.co.uk have recently announced that they will be premiering Riese: Kingdom Falling on Tuesday 29 March. In anticipation of next weeks premiere Syfy.co.uk have loads of background information, character bios and images from the series along with a new teaser trailer.

Syfy.co.uk is proud to present the award winning digital series Riese: Kingdom Falling. The story follows Riese, a wanted princess of the Kingdom of Eleysia that has been overthrown by a powerful society called The Sect. The evil empress Amara has proclaimed Riese a traitor, who must evade her pursuers with nothing but her wits and the help of her wolf companion, Fenrir.

Narrated by Amanda Tapping (Sanctuary), the series also features a well known array of talent including Christine Chatelain (The Bone Collector); Sharon Taylor (Stargate Universe); Ben Cotton (Harper's Island), Allison Mack (Smallville); Ryan Robbins (Caprica); Patrick Gilmore (Stargate Universe); Alessandro Juliani (Battlestar Galactica) and Emilie Ullerup (Sanctuary).
