Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em>‘s Wil Wheaton<\/strong> has announced his new television series, titled The Wil Wheaton Project<\/em>.<\/p>\n The Wil Wheaton Project<\/em> (working title) will debut on Syfy<\/em> later this spring.<\/p>\n On the weekly, thirty-minute show, Wheaton will “[provide] his insider point-of-view, sense of humor and expertise as he dissects the week’s most popular and trending topics across sci-fi film, television and pop culture, as well as video games, viral videos and news. Wil is on his feet for the rapid-fire half hour, delivering sharp, straight-to-camera commentary as he riffs his way through content clips. The result is a fun appreciation for all things science fiction.”<\/p>\n “I really love that I get to be part of something that brings Science Fiction back to Syfy<\/em>,” said Wheaton, in a blog post today which chronicled the birth of the series. “…If I read correctly between the lines during our meetings with the Syfy<\/em> executives, this is just the beginning of the network formerly known as Sci-Fi<\/em> returning to its science fiction roots, which is awesome.<\/p>\n “The Wil Wheaton Project<\/em> is a weekly roundup of the things I love on television and on the Internet, with commentary and jokes, and the occasional visit from interesting people who make those things happen. It’s sort of like Talk Soup<\/em> for geeks, with a heavy focus on those hilariously bad paranormal reality shows (in fact, that’s where the whole thing started a year ago, but as we worked on the show more and more, we discovered that there were lots of scripted paranormal shows that provided a ton of comedic material. When we expanded to cover the scripted shows, we discovered that nobody was doing a show like this that was just focused on the genre shows that nerds like us love, and we decided that we’d make that show because of reasons.)”<\/p>\n The Wil Wheaton Project<\/em> will air beginning Tuesday, May 27, at 10 PM ET\/PT on Syfy<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Star Trek: The Next Generation‘s Wil Wheaton has announced his new television series, titled The…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2413],"tags":[7076,2452],"class_list":["post-33263","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cast-crew","tag-the-wil-wheaton-project","tag-wheaton"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Cast & Crew<\/a>","tag_info":"Cast & Crew","comment_count":"6","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33263"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33263\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33293,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33263\/revisions\/33293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
