Summary
FTL Newsfeed was an original micro‑series produced for the Sci‑Fi Channel and served as the network’s first dedicated FTL news service. Presented in a rapid‑fire format, each instalment delivered a 30‑second fictional news bulletin purportedly transmitted from 150 years in the future.
Set within this imagined timeline, the segments explored themes such as genetic engineering, emerging technology trends, space exploration initiatives, evolving forms of future entertainment, debates over the right to privacy, and broader geopolitical tensions.
The series was created by F. Paul Wilson and Matthew J. Costello and filmed in New York. It concluded on a cliff-hanger in December 1996.
