Sneak Peek: Danny Trejo’s new sci-fi show ‘Paragon: The Shadow Wars

Action superstar Danny Trejo stars in Pikchure Zero Entertainment’s new sci-fi action series Paragon: The Shadow Wars, alongside Amin Joseph, Franziska Schissler, Dilan Gwyn, Khu, and Justin Price. The show’s first pre-filmed season – out to networks for consideration now – encompasses a 7-episode first season, with each 43-minute episode fixing on the human race dealing with the obliteration of Heaven.

In a world where Reapers take souls and demons bargain with humans for their place in the food chain, a new descendent named Jael has emerged. After centuries of civil unrest in the real world, a new war is waging amongst those who are seeking to create a new after-life and Jael finds herself in the middle of it. She must venture into the dark world of Soul Reaping and embrace her new role as the Paragon.

Paragon: The Shadow Wars is a sci-fi action series that follows the different factions of society as they deal with Heaven’s destruction. With only a small piece of the after-life to live for, everyone from Death himself is fighting to claim the Elysian for themselves. Says Justin Price, who is also a producer on the series alongside Khu and Franziska Schissler:

We have always loved the Sci-fi fantasy genre, and we wanted to create a series that explored one of the most intriguing questions of humanity. Where do we go when we die? And what would happen if Heaven no longer existed?

Price adds:

Paragon is an edgier and grittier cable style series in the vein of Firefly and Altered Carbon. I believe we have an electric hybrid that explores the human spectrum of dealing with loss and love in a stylistic way. Danny Trejo is outstanding as Kincaid, the half-dead leader of disbanded reapers.
