TV News: SYFY's Sizzling Summer Premiere Week Including New Shows - Alphas and Legend Quest

Color me happy! Syfy’s new shows Alphas and Legend Quest are premiering soon and I for one can’t wait! Alphas co-stars one of my favorite Bones interns, Ryan Cartwright (aka Mr. Vincent Nigel-Murray). I was crushed when he was killed on Bones but happy to have him return to television and on one of my all-time favorite channels – Syfy! I’ve been very curious about Legend Quest because I love archeology. It’s seems so ‘Indiana Jones’ like – searching for mysterious artifacts and relics. And of course, having a penchant for the paranormal, I’m eagerly anticipating the return of Ghost Hunters International on July 13th. Syfy also has their returning original programs Eureka, Warehouse 13, and Haven premiering their new seasons. Summer just got hotter! Although, with all the spooky ghosts and strange phenomenon going on in these shows, it might just send chills down your spine!

Archeologist Ashley Cowie

In the premiere episode, “Ark of the Covenant/Mayan Talking Cross,” Ashley and the team travel to Ethiopia, Italy and France in search of the famous Ark of the Covenant, believed to have the power to defeat any army and strike enemies with bolts of lightning.

Haven – Friday, July 15 at 10PM – Last season, when FBI agent Audrey Parker (Emily Rose) arrived in the town of Haven, Maine on a routine case, her knack for unraveling mysteries proved an asset when she discovered that the seemingly sleepy town was, in fact, a longtime refuge for people with supernatural afflictions. As the second season unfolds, Audrey must not only stay on top of Haven’s many afflictions, but she must also solve her most challenging case yet: the secret of her own lost past and its ties to Haven. With the help of Nathan Wuornos (Lucas Bryant), a handsome local cop with his own trouble, and Duke Crocker (Eric Balfour) a local smuggler and reluctant aide in solving Haven’s troubles, Audrey digs deeper into uncovering her identity. Guest stars Jason Priestley (who will also direct an episode) and Vinessa Antoine join the cast for the new season, currently in production on 13 episodes in Nova Scotia.

Super Eruption – Saturday, July 16 at 9PM – In the Syfy Saturday Original Movie Super Eruption, a section of the super volcano under Yellowstone erupts after thousands of years, putting millions at risk.

The movie, a Mar Vista Production, also stars Myanna Buring (The Twilight Saga, The Descent)
