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 think you should make it just a full blown lifetime movie instead of a series. I have so many questions like what secret is her mom keeping?why did she try to kill her? Tried to save her from what? She saved Leo just for her mom to stab him? Why did Leo try to kill her after she saved him ? What was going on with her in the water even Leo wanted to know ? Can’t just leave people with that type of cliffhanger and not make follow up movie ? I would watch so just make it… Read more »
Please make a part 2 or series!!!!!
please tell me the rumors about sea change being cancelled are fake i hope there is a tv series if not they should make a part 2 so they can make it so we can find out what happens because i would pay to see the second part it such a great movie #seachange2
The book was awesome but please do not leave us hanging on the series I’m dying to know what happens give it to us LOL
My daughter and I just finished watching the movie Sea Change. We are both dying to see what happens next to Miranda and Leo, as well as finally have some of the answers to questions. Amazing build up and great cliffhanger ending that leaves you wanting more! Please say there is either another movie, or television series coming soon!? MUST BE CONTINUED. PLEASE!?
Was loving the movie. Where is the rest? Or where is part 2. I need the series. Leo is super hot!!! Great cast!
Liked the movie. Would love to see more.
I think this movie was awesome and has the potential to be one of the best shows on lifetime. When the first twilight movie came out it’s wasn’t that popular but the more people watch the more exposure it got and ended up being one of the best movies of all times. I feel this movie will be just as great as a series. I hope there is a part 2 or a series to follow. I Will definitely be watching and telling everyone I know about it.
This is actually a good story!! I rented this from redbox and really enjoyed it. I didn’t read the book so im not sure how close the movie is to it. I hope they make a series, mini series or atleast another movie to answer the questions they left hanging. I really like Leo and of course you can’t go wrong with Colin Ferguson. He’s awesome. I hope they give him more screen time.
I loved Sea Change!!! I want to see more PLEASE!!!!
I have never read the book or heard of this movie until tonight. I went to Redbox and saw it on there, thought it might be intresting.. It was SOOOOO good!!! I can’t get enough! Told all 2 of my friends about it!
I ment bring it back and make it a series.
Please make it a series I would watch it and I know alot of other people as well.
Watched it on lifetime about a week ago and loved it but the ending left me hanging! Wish they’d make another movie or continue as a series
So there was a pilot then cancelled? Then why even play the pilot on rerun…. smh way to go lifetime!
Could have at least ended it properly
