EXCLUSIVE: Amazon is developing Halcyon, a sci-fi thriller drama series for Prime Video, based on Christopher Long’s graphic novel Hiding In Time, from Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow and his Metronome Film Company and Andrew Mittman’s 1.21. MGM Television, where Mittman is under an overall deal, is the studio. Trevorrow directs the pilot.

Created by Richard Smith, who penned the pilot, Halcyon is a paranoid sci-fi thriller in which the Witness Protection Program relocates families to various eras in time. The series unravels a conspiracy that emerges when this seemingly infallible system is breached.
