Syfy Orders Series Pick-Up for Ron Moore Drama HELIX

Picture this: a thriller about a team of scientists from the Center for Disease Control who travel to a high-tech research facility in the Arctic to investigate a possible disease outbreak. Once there, the team finds themselves in a life-or-death struggle that will hold the key to the annihilation or salvation of mankind.

Sounds good, right? Well, that’s what Syfy thought, too. The cable network announced on Thursday that it has given a straight-to-series order for Ron Moore’s (Battlestar Galactica) new drama Helix. That’s great news for fans who are looking forward to seeing the show, which has already bypassed the pilot stage and will air 13 episodes in its first season.  Hit the jump to find out more about the new series.
