Wizard Stranded On The Streets Of Toronto. Check Out The RIFTWORLD CHRONICLES Trailer!

Dollhouse star Tahmoh Penikett takes up his cloak and staff but sadly loses his magical powers whilst roaming the streets of Toronto in upcoming CBC backed fantasy web series Riftworld Chronicles. And sadly it turns out that Canada is a hard place to follow the ways of magic.

RIFTWORLD: CHRONICLES follows Alar of Caer Caladh (Tahmoh Penikett), who is stuck in Toronto after one of his spells goes awry. He teams up with struggling journalist Kim (Erin Karpluk) to help get him back home. Hunted by a fantastical foe, they try to solve the mystery of what binds their worlds -- and their fates -- together.

 

The series begins with a portal opening in a desolate alley in downtown Toronto, where Alar steps out to a foreign world -- Earth. Clearly lost, he tries to use his powers to cast a teleport spell, to no avail.  Fascinated by this new dimension, he seeks out a palace only to meet Kim, a savvy up-and-coming journalist, who is pretty sure he is just another homeless man off his meds. It'll take more than a necklace, a dimension-travelling monster, and possible imprisonment for Kim to realize Alar is the real deal.

With the web series poised to launch July 14th on the CBC's Punchline website as well as their own official site  ScreenAnarchy is very happy to present the first official trailer! This one looks like a whole lot of fun, check it out below!
