Syfy has announced production has started on brand new, original fantasy series The Outpost.

The series will follow Talon (played by Jessica Green) as the sole survivor of her family and her race, who sets out to avenge herself against the mercenaries who destroyed her village. Along the way, she discovers she has magical powers which she will need to use to protect herself, and to succeed in her quest.

Production has already started in Utah, and the series will air across Europe, the Middle East and Africa later in the year. Excitingly for Stargate and Stargate SG-1 fans, producer Dean Devlin (of Stargate) and show-runner Jonathan Glassner (SG-1) are already aboard as executive producers.
