Husbands is Back with Season 2!

Husbands Season 2

You’ve been waiting all summer but now it’s finally arrived! Husbands, the critically acclaimed web series, is back with it’s first episode: Appropriate is Not the Word. Husbands is written by Brad Bell and Jane Espenson (executive producer for Caprica). It is produced by Jane Espenson and directed by Jeff Greenstein. It features Brad Bell as Cheeks, the fun and flippant actor who knows exactly what to say at the exactly the wrong moments. He finds himself partnered with Brady (Sean Hemeon), your not-so-typical athlete who does his best to wrangle Cheeks under control. Cheeks’ best friend Haley (Alessandra Torresani) isn’t always “all there” but she serendipitously sees more in Cheeks and Brady than they ever could.

The story of Husbands is that of unintentional love. Cheeks and Brady wind up married after a drunken night in Vegas. But because of their clout in the public eye they refuse to get a divorce. After a series of compromises they learn that their relationship just might work.

Husbands Season 2

Joining the cast in Season 2 is a carousel of talent including Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Joss Whedon (Everything Whedonverse), Dichen Lachmen (Dollhouse), Amber Benson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Felicia Day (Buffy, Dollhouse), Emma Caufield (Buffy) and Caprica’s Magda Apanowicz (Lacy Rand) & Sasha Roiz (Sam Adama). With so much talent in Husbands Season 2 you’ll be sure to squee while watching.

The first season of Husbands is still available to watch on HusbandsTheSeries.com. Season 2 was made possible with contributions from the fans on Kickstarter totaling $60,000. My, how much we love this series.

The first episode of Husbands Season 2 is live for you to watch now! Brady and Cheeks are sure to clash as they adjust to living together. Check it out to see if these unforeseen lovebirds can build a nest together without falling out!

Introducing Caprica Comic

Next Season on Caprica

Syfy’s Caprica ended with unresolved stories and a glimpse of what was to come with an earmark of “Next Season on Caprica.” Unfortunately, despite fan protest, a second season of Caprica never came.

ZoeLast April, The Caprica Times interviewed showrunner Kevin Murphy on what was to happen in the future of Caprica. The story was highly imaginative and engaging – surely an epic deserving to be told.

Beginning of Line was created by Caprica fan Teresa Jusino to continue the story of Caprica. It’s enabled other fans to write their version of what’s happened since the end of Season 1. Having published a full, new season, it is a huge success.

Daniel

Through a labor of love, the tale of Caprica lives on in another way now. The Caprica Times has created an unofficial, fan-made, web-based Caprica Comic for fans to indulge in.

Caprica Comic will peer into the lives of the Graystones, Adamas, the STO and the Ha’La’Tha as they redefine humanity’s existence since the frightening events at Atlas Arena.

The first issue of Caprica Comic has already been posted. You can expect to see more every 1-2 months.

Thank you for continuing to support The Caprica Times. Caprica Comic is my gift to all fans of Caprica who have been waiting for more. I hope that you will enjoy Caprica Comic as much as I do sharing it with you.

Blood & Chrome: Cancelled Before It Began

According to Deadline.com, Blood & Chrome will not be moving forward as a TV series on Syfy. Does this shock anyone?

Feeling poorly for all those that worked hard to produce the two-hour pilot. These people deserve medals of honor for bravery in the face of clear adversity.

Caprica: One Year Later

Caprica

 

Three and a half years ago, Sci Fi Channel announced that they would be producing a backdoor pilot of a prequel series for Battlestar Galactica.


“We couldn’t be more excited to see this long-anticipated project get off the ground. It’s an amazing script, and, though clearly inspired by the Battlestar mythology, it is not just a pale spin-off. This is a smart, thought-provoking, emotional, and compelling character drama in its own right.”

“Building on the brilliance of SCI FI’s Battlestar Galactica, we all know Caprica will be a critical and commercial success.”

One year ago today, Syfy cancelled Caprica to make room for their new vision of programming (which apparently includes wrestling, cooking and rather ironically, reality shows). So long nerds, Syfy doesn’t need you indeed.

 

“It’s our job – we create life and then one day we have to face who they are, what they become and what they do.”

 

In my life, a lot has changed over the course of one year. Inadvertently I have Caprica to thank for that. I won’t bore you with the details. But it’s important to honor that the work put into Caprica from its dedicated production team was relevant. Chances are, if you’re reading this, you too have in some way been changed as a result of Caprica.

 

“What are you?” “I’m awake.”

 

You may be one of the 11,642 and growing who have signed the Caprica for Season 2 petition. Or maybe you’re one of the hundreds whose passion for Caprica I’ve been retweeting on Twitter every week since it was cancelled. Perhaps you’re among the 179,726 who have liked Caprica on Facebook, or the 3,734 who joined the Caprica for Season 2 community.

 

“The need to connect – it’s powerful and that is why this thing is going to sell. We make them, we own them. They’re real. And the worlds just changed.”

 

Or maybe you sat on the edge of your seat one recent weekend as you watched the entire series on Netflix for the first time. If so, I welcome you to read the interviews I’ve conducted with some of the Caprica staff and to continue enjoying Caprica through social media. I also highly recommend visiting Caprica TV for the latest happenings and projects from everyone involved in Caprica. Caprica TV deserves endless praise for keeping meticulous track of the successes of those who had to move on after Caprica was cancelled.

 

“People leave more than footprints as they travel through life.”

 

Caprica was a story of facing your demons and fighting for a glorious future. It was a story of the choices we make and the sacrifices we endure to live in a better world. Caprica was a story of letting go of false securities and embracing the responsibilities and connections we have as human beings. Caprica was a story of virtue. What could be more relevant in today’s world?

 

“You have the right to think and feel and yearn to be more because you are not just humanity’s children.”

 

I, like many of you, believe that Caprica’s story was unfinished. You may have contributed to the Caprica fan fiction site, Beginning of Line to help tell the untold tales. Since last year, I have spent countless hours thinking of how to keep the spirit of Caprica alive for all of us to enjoy. I had begun a few projects that I never saw through to completion. But I am happy to say that with the support of fans like yourself, something may soon take the shape of things to come. Keep watching The Caprica Times for updates.

 

Caprica Teaser

 

I want to thank all of you who have continued to read The Caprica Times and share your Caprica experiences all around the web and the world. Together we keep the heart of Caprica beating forward, ready to face the challenges of infinite new worlds.

What Does Gay Marriage Look Like?

Husbands the Series

 

On Caprica, Sam Adama was in a relationship with his partner, Larry. While we never learned if they were married, when executive producer Jane Espenson was asked if Capricans would support gay marriage, she said, “Yes, absolutely. Capricans always have viewed all marriages as equal. Wouldn’t occur to them not to.”

Here we live in a different world, where gay marriage is being accepted in trickles across the United States of America. But in Jane Espenson’s web series, Husbands, gay marriage just became legalized throughout the entire country. Post-celebration, Cheeks and Brady find out that being married may not be all that they had wished for, despite Cheeks’ best friend Haley’s attempts to make it work. For the Caprica fan in you, you’ll be pleased to see Alessandra Torresani (Zoe) playing the part of Haley.

 

Eric Stolz Husbands the Series

 

If you need a good laugh, check out Husbands the Series today. Each episode is approximately 2 1/2 minutes long, perfect for squeezing in during your busy day. The last episode comes out today, but you can catch up on all the previous episodes by visiting the Husbands Episodes page.
