SYFY TO TRANSPORT VIEWERS TO "OPPOSITE WORLDS"

Past vs. Future Reality Competition Series to Premiere January 21, 2014

Series to Feature Syfy's First-Ever Live Weekly Broadcast

NEW YORK - October 23, 2013 - Syfy today announced the greenlight of Opposite Worlds, an all-new reality competition series - with an interactive twist - from Eyeworks USA. Set to premiere January 21, 2014, Opposite Worlds will run for 12 episodes over six weeks (two episodes per week), with the second weekly episode featuring a live element (a first for a Syfy reality series).

In Opposite Worlds, 14 people from all walks of life face off in opposing teams that live in a house separated into two distinctly different worlds: one past and one future, each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Adding to the drama is a glass wall dividing the house into the two environments, allowing the teams to watch, envy and dread each other's every move.

Every week, as cast members compete in a series of fast-paced challenges, viewers will be asked to participate in real time on social media and affect the outcome of each player's fate.

Said Dave Howe, President, Syfy and Chiller: "Building on the success of Defiance, Opposite Worlds delivers on Syfy's on-going strategy to create fully immersive 360 transmedia experiences in both the scripted and now unscripted worlds. It invites our audience, who thrive on seeking out what's new and next, to participate in the ultimate multiplatform experience. And with Syfy's first-ever weekly live series, they will have the opportunity to become a part of a groundbreaking social experiment, which engages them, as well as the players onscreen, to influence the show's story-telling action and outcomes."

Opposite Worlds will be executive produced by JD Roth, Todd A. Nelson, Brant Pinvidic and Adam Kaloustian for Eyeworks USA. The series is based on the hit Chilean format, Mundos Opuestos, originally broadcast on Canal 13.
