The Tomorrow People’s premiere episode has new stills and a synopsis to entice hopeful CW fans.
The new CW show, an integral part of the network’s Amell Wednesdays programming block, premieres October 9. As part of the promotional effort for the reboot of the British series, the show has released new stills of the premiere and the synopses of the first two episodes.
The premiere introduces the audience to the basic setup of the show as seen by the synopsis. The series features Stephen (Robbie Amell) joining the Tomorrow People in order to protect himself against Dr. Price (Mark Pellegrino). The pilot played well at Comic-Con 2013 as Hypable reported and has been made a priority of the CW this season.
“When Stephen Jameson (Robbie Amell) begins hearing voices and waking up in strange places, he starts to question his sanity. In desperation, Stephen decides to listen to one of the voices in his head, and it leads him to his first encounter with the Tomorrow People — John (Luke Mitchell), Cara (Peyton List) and Russell (Aaron Yoo) — a genetically advanced race with the abilities of telekinesis, teleportation and telepathic communication. The Tomorrow People inform him that they are being hunted down by a paramilitary group of scientists known as Ultra, led by Dr. Jedikiah Price (Mark Pellegrino). Meanwhile, Stephen gets another surprise that leads him down his own path, which he hopes will help him uncover the truth about his father’s (guest star Jeffrey Pierce, “Alcatraz”) mysterious disappearance.”
The second The Tomorrow People episode is entitled “In Too Deep” and features conflict between Stephen and John (Luke Mitchell) as Stephen attempts to assert his independence.
“When Ultra tries to probe Stephen’s (Robbie Amell) brain, he looks to his fellow Tomorrow People for help but is rebuffed by an angry John (Luke Mitchell), leaving Cara (Peyton List) to go behind John’s back to help Stephen. Meanwhile, Ultra tracks down the identity of a new break-out, who has been using his powers to commit crimes. Stephen tracks down the new break-out but is shocked when an Ultra SWAT team is called in. At a loss for what to do, Stephen calls on John, Cara, and Russell (Aaron Yoo) for help, leaving them with a risk of also getting caught. Upon learning of Ultra’s evil motives, John tries to convince Stephen to spy on Ultra to help save other potential Tomorrow People, while still pursuing the answers he seeks about his father.”
