Plot Summary:Riverworld was previously adapted as a television film in 2003. Penikett, best known to genre fans from Battlestar Galactica, plays Matt Ellman, an American war zone reporter who has witnessed the worst of humanity first-hand yet still grasps on to an optimistic spirit. When a suicide bomber kills both Matt and his fiance Jessie (Vandervoort), they awaken, separated in a mysterious world where everyone who has ever lived on Earth, seems to have been reborn along the banks of a seemingly endless river. Determined to locate Jessie, Matt joins forces with a 13th century female samurai warrior named Tomoe (Jeananne Goossen) and American novelist Sam Mark Twain Clemens (Mark Deklin). Together they sail upriver in search of its source, and to discover where they are and who put them there. Alan Cumming will guest star as the mysterious Caretaker.
