On the series, debuting in January, Emily Hampshire (Rookie Blue) plays Jennifer Goines, a mental patient who crosses paths with Cole.
Check out our debut of the first image of Hampshire in 12 Monkeys.Said 12 Monkeys co-executive producer Terry Matalas, "We knew we couldn't do Brad Pitt all over again. That would be impossible. So we thought it would be bold and thrilling to give that iconic character to a woman and let them bring their own energy and complexity to it. And we were lucky to find Emily Hampshire."
Natalie Chaidez (In Plain Sight, V, Heroes, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) is the executive producer/showrunner and Matalas & Travis Fickett (Nikita), who co-wrote the pilot, will serve as Co-Executive Producers.Chaidez, Matalas and Fickett will all be taking part in a panel for 12 Monkeys at New York Comic Con on Saturday, which I'll be moderating, with Hampshire appearing as well. For those attending NYCC, the panel is Saturday, October 11th from 5:00PM-5:45PM in Room 1A21.
If you're in New York this week, you can also see the entire 12 Monkeys pilot at a special screening at the Paley Center on Friday, October 10 at 7:30pm. Seats are available by emailing Syfy12Monkeys@nbcuni.com..
