Sneak Peek at TNT’s Falling Skies

Falling Skies stars Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood, Drew Roy, Will Patton, and Maxin Knight as a group of survivors following a deadly alien invasion. The series premieres on TNT on Sunday, June 19th at 9/8c.

Here’s the synopsis for the series:

FALLING SKIES opens in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of the world completely incapacitated. The few remaining survivors have banded together outside major cities to begin the difficult task of fighting back. Each day is a test of survival as citizen soldiers engage in an insurgency campaign against the occupying alien force, whose nature and purpose remains a mystery. FALLING SKIES is a tale of endurance, commitment and courage in which everyday people are called upon to become heroes. The survivors may be outmatched, outnumbered and outgunned, but nothing can beat the human spirit. The series combines stunning visual effects and personal human stories about triumph and survival in the most devastating circumstances.

Falling Skies stars Wyle as Tom Mason, a Boston history professor whose family has been torn apart. Bloodgood also stars as Anne Glass, a pediatrician who works with the survivors. Will Patton (Armageddon, TNT’s Into the West) plays a fierce leader of the resistance, Weaver. And Roy plays Mason’s eldest son and fellow- fighter, Hal. FALLING SKIES comes to TNT from DreamWorks television and executive producer Steven Spielberg.

True Blood’s Lafayette to get some Loving

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Southland actor Kevin Alejandro will be joining the cast as Jesus, a Latino orderly who is taking care of Alfre Woodard’s Ruby (Lafayette’s mother) at her nursing home facility. Jesus will become romantically involved with Lafayette and it’s being said that the character will appear in just about every episode in True Blood‘s third season.

Technically Alejandro is still attached to Southland but will be vamping things up on HBO, till a decision from TNT regarding a second season pickup up for the series.
