Steven DeKnight

Spartacus creator Steven DeKnight had one of the most thrilling announcements of Comic Con, even though it didn’t happen on a panel or press conference. He’s creating a brand new TV series for Starz, about a huge interplanetary war, in which humans fight aliens on a slew of exotic planets.

Talking to CinemaBlend at Comic Con, DeKnight explained a bit more about how Incursion will work. Each season will take place on a different planet — and they’ll actually film in a location with the proper climate: "Let’s do a jungle, let’s do a desert, let’s do an ice planet. Let’s really explore those environments, and unlike Spartacus, we’re actually going to go these locations. So, it won’t be on green screen." There will be a cast of core characters on the show who come back every season — but this being a war show, there will be a lot of unexpected deaths as well.

We can’t wait.
