‘Riese’ SyFy Promo Getting Us Pumped for Next Week

Riese is finally coming back online next week and the early promos (above) are getting us fired up again.

Fans rumbled a bit when sci-fi Riese was abruptly taken offline during its first release last fall. In the puzzling game of online distribution, it’s something many series creators have come to accept as part of the web series territory. Having just signed an international distribution and sales deal with Fireworks, creators Ryan Copple and Kaleena Kiff had to pull it down to allow for a deal with SyFy to go through.

Now the 10-episode steampunk inspired drama heads to SyFy.com

as Riese: Kingdom Falling starting Tuesday October 26, with new episodes out every Tuesday and Thursday.

SyFy was a natural fit for Riese, with its cast of Sanctuary and Battlestar Galactica vets like Amanda Tapping (Sanctuary), 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).

Riese is the Crown Princess of Eleysia, forced to flee into the wilds after her family was slaughtered. She will soon serve as a catalyst for a disparate group of supposed heretics, the Resistance, launching them into civil war.

Keeping up with the popular ARG that kicked off its first release, the Copple and Kiff are also releasing an iPhone game voiced by The Guild’s Felicia Day.
