British viewers will be able to see the fact-based drama Project Blue Book on SYFY from March 27th – or, for particularly keen fans, at 2am the night before. Dramatising the postwar projects to investigate UFO sightings in the USA, the central figure is J. Allen Hynek.
Hynek is played by Aidan Gillen, a familiar face on zeitgeist-grabbing TV since the nineties after his starring roles in Queer as Folk, The Wire and Game of Thrones. The cast also includes Michael Malarkey (The Vampire Diaries) and Laura Mennell (The Man in the High Castle).
