Noah Wyle is so excited for audiences to see his new TNT series Falling Skies that he’s giving fans in Chicago a sneak peek at the show, which debuts at 8 p.m. June 19.
“The pilot is going to be two years old by the time it hits the airwaves and the series we filmed from July to November of last year,” he said. “Making this, I think, the longest pregnancy in television history. And I really want to get this baby out of me.”
Falling Skies, which is executive produced by Steven Spielberg and DreamWorks Television, begins six months after an alien attack. The series will follow one of the bands of survivors fighting back.
And even though the series doesn’t’ debut for a few more weeks, some Chicago fans will be able to see it Tuesday during a special advanced screening at the Kerasotes ShowPlace ICON theater which will be followed by a Q&A with Wyle.
