Time After Time is finally coming our way on Sunday, March 5 with a special two-hour premiere containing the first two episodes of the series.
In the first episode “Pilot” airing at 9:00 ET/PT, using the 1979 novel and movie as a launching point, Time After Time chronicles the adventures of a young H.G. Wells, as he travels through centuries, decades and days in the time machine he created. In the pursuit of the charismatic (yet secretly psychopathic) Dr. John Stevenson, better known as “Jack the Ripper,” Wells arrives in modern day New York City, searching for Stevenson after the doctor escapes authorities in Wells’ London home. But instead of the Utopia he imagined, Wells finds a world more aligned with Stevenson’s temperament in a series charged with danger and adventure, and centered in thrills, satire, humor – and most of all, an epic love story. So, basically the description for Episode 1 is the logline for the series.
Now, do note that the Episode 2 synopsis contains a big spoiler. You have been warned. Are you prepared now? Good.
“I Will Catch You” is the title for the second episode, airing at 10PM on March 5. In Episode 2, presented with the real possibility that Vanessa Anders is in fact Wells’ great granddaughter, H.G. and Jane continue to search for Dr. John Stevenson, but when their final face-to-face meeting goes anything but planned, the doctor is back on the loose.
You can see photos from both episodes below. Be aware that there are a lot of them!
