The SyFy channel has re-branded to Sky Sci-Fi offering new shows and fan favourites.

The destination for fans of science fiction and fantasy genres, Syfy, will be re-branding to Sky Sci-Fi from Tuesday 26 July. The channel has been revamped and will offer exciting new shows while still being home to a host of sci-fi classics that fans know and love.

Hitting UK screens for the very first time on launch week is the long-awaited release of SurrealEstate, a paranormal and spooktacular series, featuring cast members Tim Rozon and Sarah Levy (Schitt’s Creek). Also announced as brand new to the channel and airing in launch month, is the exhilarating zombie series Day of The Dead, inspired by George. A Romero’s horror movie, starring Keenan Tracey and Natalie Malaika.

Fiction fans will still be able to find their favourite shows on the channel, with Star Trek, Stargate and Quantum Leap named as just a few of the many titles available for avid sci-fi watchers. What’s more, box-set bingers will be able to feast their eyes on new classic series soon to be revealed, with endless episodes to enjoy.

Zai Bennett, Managing Director, Content Sky UK and Ireland, said: "From space adventures to futuristic fantasy, Sky Sci-Fi will be joining the host of genre-led brands launched in the past year and will offer a new universe for viewers to explore. The re-brand will make it easier for people to find exactly what they want, with fan favourites, a multitude of on demand content, as well as a burst of exciting new shows for sci-fi fanatics."
