In a year that has brought nothing but bad news for magazine publishers, we\u2019re delighted to announce <\/span>SciFiNow+<\/b><\/a>, a new fortnightly digital launch from SciFiNow and The Companion.<\/span><\/p>\n

SciFiNow+<\/b><\/a> has been carefully crafted to reflect the prestige format magazine experience, with high-quality covers, world-beating entertainment journalism, news, reviews, analysis, retro throwback features, and interviews, all under the curation of SciFiNow Editor Rachael Harper.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cThe print magazine launched in 2007 when there was a clear appetite for the wave of high-quality US shows that were being overlooked by existing film and TV mags,\u201d explains Rachael. \u201cSince then the brand has continued to innovate. With the print magazine on hiatus, <\/span>SciFiNow+<\/b><\/a> is the best way to continue that legacy whilst better reflecting the way that our global audience consume the books, comics, movies and TV series that they love.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

SciFiNow+<\/b> I<\/strong><\/a>ssue 1 <\/b>is released 15 December and leads with exclusive coverage of the eagerly anticipated and much-delayed <\/span>Wonder Woman 1984<\/i><\/strong>, including an interview with director Patty Jenkins as well as author interviews, news, reviews and a Flashback to <\/span>The Outer Limits<\/i><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike the print magazine which was released every four weeks, <\/span>SciFiNow+<\/b><\/a> will be released fortnightly. This change in frequency will allow for closer coverage of the streaming shows and movies that have come to dominate lives with the onset of Covid-19, allowing the magazine content to shape the debate around shows like <\/span>The Mandalorian<\/a>, The Expanse<\/i><\/strong> and <\/span>Star Trek: Discovery<\/i><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith twice as many coveted SciFiNow issues a year, <\/span>SciFiNow+<\/b><\/a> has greater freedom to champion emerging SF authors and independent films,\u201d Rachael continues. \u201cAlso, as a fortnightly digital magazine free from advertising constraints, <\/span>SciFiNow+<\/b><\/a> has no barriers when it comes to telling the stories that our readers are the most passionate about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

No ads and no clickbait, The Companion is dedicated to original long reads and exclusive in-depth interviews on the likes of\u00a0Stargate, Farscape, Star Trek, Quantum Leap, The X-Files<\/strong><\/em>, and more.<\/p>\n

Your\u00a0membership<\/a>\u00a0to The Companion gets you three epic long reads a week, as well as early access to showrunner podcasts, invites to live events and AMAs, and, of course, every single issue of SciFiNow+<\/strong> as it\u2019s released. You can also download the free app in the\u00a0App Store<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Google Play<\/a>\u00a0and explore tons of bonus features not available on the site.<\/p>\n

Sign up for a\u00a0free trial now<\/a>. If it\u2019s not for you, simply cancel before the end of the trial period and you won\u2019t be billed.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
