Deepwater Black

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deepwater Black is a 1995 novel, first in the Deepwater trilogy, by the New Zealand science fiction writer Ken Catran, where a cast of young characters are supposedly stranded in space whilst a virus ravages Earth. The book series itself was quite different from the television series later developed. The approach of the novels focused on the characters as younger children, around 13-14 rather than the television approach where the characters were much older.

The trilogy was adapted as the Sci Fi Channel's first original television series in 1997 under the name Mission Genesis . In Canada, where the show was co-produced by the YTV Network, the series retained the original title, Deepwater Black. Only one season, of 13 episodes, was made. Soon after production ended, lead actress Nicole de Boer joined the cast of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and lead actor Gordon Michael Woolvett joined the cast of Andromeda.

The series was filmed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
