Syfy just released a breaking news item that Syfy Digital has acquired the rights to Riese, the Series, and is looking to stream the first season on Syfy Digital, and the yet to be seen 2nd season on the same channel. The awesome part of the deal is that they’re looking to take Riese on the development path to a series for TV.
Riese stars Christine Chatelain, Patrick Gilmore, Sharon Taylor and Ben Cotton.
But if you look carefully at some of the newest cast members of Riese, you’ll catch a few familiar names:

We thought it was great news when we reported that Emilie Ullerup landed on her feet after that bulls*** where Emilie was cut from the cast of Sanctuary because of creative story writing.
She landed on her feet landing a role in the web series Riese The Series as Aliza. But dang, suddenly she’s got company from actors from other popular shows coming over for roles on Riese The Series.
Allison Mack (Smallville, upcoming Scream 4) is joining Riese as Marlise, an amitious Sect member.
Alesandro Juliani (Battlestar Galactica, Alice, Smallville, upcoming Riverworld) is joining Riese as Garin, an officer of the resistance.
Patrick Gilmore (Stargate Universe) is on the web series as is Sanctuary’s Ryan Robbins.
Peter Kelamis (Stargate Universe, The Thaw) is coming on board as Ormand.
This seems like a serious amount of named actors headed on over to Riese. I wonder if something is coming down the pipe where this might be coming to TV and they’re stocking up the cast!? That would be nice!
Wow, a few from SGU and Smallville hoping on over to Riese the Series. Is there some message underneath it all about their old television series’? Eh, probably not.

Just a thought gang, but last week’s episode of Smallville where there was that mysterious interchange of words between Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) and Dr. Emil Hamilton (Alessandro Juliani) about trust, he had that odd response to her inquiry about it she can trust him.
I think we need to remember something here folks: The good Dr. Hamilton ends up becoming Ruin in the comic mythos of Superman.
He’s one to keep an eye on, that’s for sure!
Caterina Scorsone as Alice Hamilton on Syfy's Alice
Syfy spun the Wizard of Oz adaptation titled Tin Man pretty damn well and they’re using the same folks to create a re-imagined spin on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
Alice will premiere on Sunday, December 6th and will air over two consecutive nights. In this modern day spin on the classic stories by Lewis Carroll, Academy Award winner Kathy Bates (Misery) stars as the Queen of Hearts and Caterina Scorsone (Crash television series) as Alice.
