SYFY’s all-new sci-fi adventure series, Vagrant Queen, premieres tonight.
While many networks are being forced to end their shows early due to coronavirus shutdowns, SyFy has a brand new show for viewers to enjoy.
Vagrant Queen follows Elida, a young queen-turned-orphaned-outcast, as she evades the Republic government trying to kill off her royal bloodline, according to the synopsis and promo trailer.
Joining her on her journey is old friend Isaac, who “shows up claiming her mother Xevelyn is still alive,” and go off searching for her with the help of new ally Amae.
They’ll have to work together to find and save Elida’s supposedly-alive mother while thwarting a “deadly foe from her childhood, Commander Lazaro.”
Created by Jem Garrard and based on the comic book series from Vault Comics, the 10-episode first season was created by an all-female team of writers and directors.
Adriyan Rae stars as the Vagrant Queen herself, Elida.
The character’s described as a “former queen turned scavenger who’s been on the run since her throne was stolen as a child.”
Prior to landing the lead in this new SyFy series, Adriyan starred as Peri on Hulu’s Light as a Feather and had guest roles on shows like Champaign ILL, American Soul and Brockmire.
She was also in films like Superfly and Burning Sands.
Tim Rozon plays Isaac, “a charming, deadbeat Canadian [who] was accidentally catapulted to this galaxy five years ago and has been living as a scavenger, desperate to make enough cash to buy his way home.”
SyFy fans will likely recognize Tim Rozon from his other show on the network, Wynonna Earp, where he stars as Doc Holliday, though his costumes for the two series are vastly different.
While Wynonna Earp continues its hiatus ahead of its eventual season 4 return, Earpers can still enjoy Tim in the 10-episode first season of Vagrant Queen.
He also recently starred opposite Candace Cameron Bure in the Hallmark holiday movie Christmas Town in 2019, as well as on Diggstown that same year.
Fans might also recognize him from his roles as Mitt Schitt on Schitt’s Creek and as Tommy Quincy on the mid-2000s teen music drama Instant Star.
The duo’s new ally, Amae, “is a skilled mechanic and pilot with an intelligent and caring soul who is always looking out for the little guy,” and she’s portrayed by Alex McGregor.
Alex played Karma Magento in the SyFy series Blood Drive and was, among other projects, also in the mini-series Cape Town and the ABC drama Of Kings and Prophets.
Paul du Toit plays Commander Lazaro in Vagrant Queen, with the character being a “ruthless and power-hungry [foe who’s] been hunting Elida for 15 years with his anger towards the monarchy fueling him.”
Before joining the SyFy series, Paul worked on projects like Maze Runner: The Death Cure, Black Sails and the South African series Binnelanders.
The pilot episode of Vagrant Queen premieres on SyFy on Friday at 10 p.m.
