Based on Justin Cronin’s best-selling trilogy of the same name, the vampire-thriller The Passage is set to premiere in just a few weeks.
The Passage focuses on Project NOAH, a secret medical facility where scientists are experimenting with a dangerous virus that could lead to the cure for all disease, but also carries the potential to wipe out the human race.
When a young girl, Amy Bellafonte, played by Saniyya Sidney, is chosen to be a test subject, Federal Agent Brad Wolgast (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) is the man who is tasked with bringing her to Project NOAH. Ultimately, however, Wolgast becomes her surrogate father, trying to protect her at any cost.
Take a look at the photos and videos below for a preview of The Passage Season 1 Episode 1, including an interview with Gosselaar and Sidney about what we can look forward to from the new series.
