Attention, sci-fi fantasy fans! There's a new SyFy show on the horizon and the biggest reason you should be super thrilled about it is that it comes from the maestro who gave us stellar masterpieces like 'Game of Thrones' and most importantly, 'The Songs of Ice and Fire' saga. That's right. The brilliant George R. R. Martin is back at it again to wow fans of the fantasy fiction genre with his 1980 novella titled 'Nightflyers' being turned into a TV series with the same name!

The novella, which is a series of short stories by Martin, is having its own TV adaptation premiering in less than two weeks from now, on December 2, and even though Martin will not be involved directly with the series due to his exclusive contract with HBO, he will still be credited as an executive producer.
