LOS ANGELES, CA (July 7, 2016) – Lifetime, MarVista and Pillar/Segan begin production today on the pilot Sea Change (wt), a mystical drama that follows Miranda Merchant, a teen girl on a journey to reunite with her estranged mother who lives on a seemingly idyllic island off the coast of New England. Miranda quickly learns about small-town life when she finds herself caught between the town’s residents and the island’s mysterious legend of dangerous Seawalkers. Filming in Nova Scotia through August, Sea Change is based on the book of the same name by New York Times bestselling author Aimee Freidman.
After the death of her father, 17-year-old Miranda Merchant (newcomer, Emily Rudd) reluctantly arrives on the shores of Selkie Island to live with her estranged mother, Amelia (Maria Dizza, Orange is the New Black). As Miranda settles into island life, she finds herself torn between TJ (Keenan Tracey, Bates Motel), heir to one of the oldest Selkie families, and mysterious bad boy Leo (Skyler Maxon, Awkward) who is part of the working class “townies.” When Miranda learns about the Seawalkers, who, according to local legend, are half human and half sea creature, she begins to believe that they could be real. As she uncovers more about her family’s past, Miranda makes a startling discovery about her own connections to the Seawalkers.
Produced by MarVista Entertainment and Piller/Segan, Sea Change is Executive Produced by Fernando Szew (The Swap), Lloyd Segan (Greek), Shawn Piller (Greek), Sharon Bordas (A Deadly Adoption), David MacLeod (Haven) and Adam Fratto (Cleverman) . Chris Grismer (The Originals) is executive producing and directing the pilot script, written by Liz Sczudlo (The Following).”
What do you think? Have you read Sea Change? Would you watch the series?
I enjoy the pilot of sea change and i love it the pilot . I would watch the series. The pilot was mysterious,secretly and romance.
I really enjoyed this first movie Sea Change. It was intriguing and romantic and exciting! You made me want more. I want to read the book now, but I can hardly wait for the next movie in the series to arrive. Keep the suspense going by advertising the next movie like you did the first one.
Just watched the movie Sea Change. Loved it. Is there going to be another movie? I do hope there is and not leave it unfinished. Plus, love this type of shoe and especially for Lifetime.
I watched the pilot, it was great wanted to set DVR to record the series. Couldn’t find the programing for it… I would so watch this series. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Could not believe this was the ending, please say this will become a series. I want to see more. I read the book and enjoyed it and I would love to see the story come to life.
Please continue the story…would definately watch a series.
I understand that Sea change is a pilot. When we will hear if it was accepted as a series or 3 part mini series? I believe that lifetime could definitely have a following if they made it a series. Please do not leave us hanging. I know am looking up the books, that way I can someat find out what happens next.
I want more, please make into a tv series. It kept my attention and left me wanting more. I kept searching my tv guide and on demand to see if I could find a sequel. I was disappointed to see the tv pilot was canceled in 2016. Sea Change needs more than a 10-week pilot, minimum 26 with yearly renewals!
I would watched the series im already wanting to know more.
