Watch the Twisty First 4-1/2 분 of Syfy's New 우주 Drama 

on the universe, and TVLine has your first look at the series premiere’s first four-plus minutes.

 — premiering Friday, June 19 at 9/8c on Syfy as well as Canada’s Space — follows three interplanetary bounty hunters (or “Killjoys”) as they chase deadly fugitives throughout the Quad, a distant planetary system on the brink of a bloody class war.

) stars as Dutch, a top-level Killjoy hiding a deep solemnity resulting from a dark, secret past; Aaron Ashmore (

) plays John Jaqobis, a Level 3 Killjoy who, despite his profession, always prefers to wield his sarcastic wit; and Luke Macfarlane (

) fills the role of D’avin Jaqobis, a former soldier whose expertise in tactics and hand-to-hand combat make him an instant asset to the team.

In the series’ cold open above, John looks to be in a bad way, held captive and tortured for intel on the location of a bounty’s ship, until Dutch (sorta?) comes to his (possible?) rescue.

Watch the sneak peek and then tell us: Might

It’s got a slick look and a fun energy to it. Feels a bit like Firefly remade on a Canadian TV budget, which could be entertaining or could be tragically disappointing.

Already on the DVR! Syfy has done a pretty good job with their summer shows – Defiance, Dominion, Alphas (though I’ll never forgive them for cancelling that show!!). Hope this one is just as good.

It’s already on mine too. I usually give all new Canadian shows a look and this one looks like it won’t disappoint.

I can’t believe SyFy left poor Gary alone in that Subway station surrounded by his “dead” friends. Alphas deserved much better.

um more please :) looks really good but I’m a sucker for that kind of space operay sci-fi and add Aaron Ashmore into the mix and I’m sold. Can’t wait.

Looks VERY Firefly-ish! Can’t wait to see more and if there is wit in this ‘verse too!

It’s a summer show and it has Aaron Ashmore. That’s enough to get me to check it out!

Oh I’m glad that with The Following just ending I’m glad an Ashmore will be back on TV.

You do realize this is not Shawn Ashmore but his twin Aaron, right?

I think thats why they said “an” Ashmore.

looks like a good one, will definitely be checking it out

I’m sufficiently intrigued. It has a very Firefly meets Guardians of the Galaxy feel, but I’m hoping the cleverness of the setup doesn’t belie the level of eventual world building.

Thanks tvline for including the note about it airing on Space in Canada; appreciate the inclusion

There is so much good material out there in sci-fi and all we get is another derivative bang-bang boom-boom show. How depressing.

Looks like fun.. Like other posters, I got a bit of a Firefly vibe from it as well. Personally, I’ve been kind of ticked at SyFy for a while. I liked Alphas at first, but it quickly just turned into “X-men Lite”, and Defiance was horribly boring. Gave up after the first season (which was tough to slog through). KillJoys looks like it has potential, though.

I don’t think so . I have already given Syfy too much attention with watching Haven and Bitten . Syfy only keeps their shows around for 5 years if you are lucky… Pretty sure Haven is over by the end of this year .Don’t want to start a new show knowing that it will most likely be over in a couple of years . :(
