EUREKA is an offbeat, relatable dramedy with a unique sci-fi twist. Nestled in the Pacific Northwest, Eureka is a small town with big secrets. Shrouded in secrecy, the picturesque hamlet is actually a community of geniuses assembled by the government to conduct top-secret research. What they've unwittingly created is a place where anything imaginable can happen... and does. EUREKA airs Tuesdays at 9pm ET/PT on Sci Fi.
Executive produced by Jaime Paglia and Charlie Craig, EUREKA stars Colin Ferguson, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Joe Morton, Jordan Hinson, Ed Quinn, Erica Cerra, and Neil Grayston. The show is produced by Sci Fi Channel, in association with Universal Cable Productions.
