Rewind: 12 Monkeys Season One — Time Travel, And Madness
In this special Rewind episode, we journey back to New York Comic Con for an electrifying conversation with 12 Monkeys co-executive producers Travis Fickett and Terry Matalas, joined by the unforgettable Emily Hampshire, who brings Jennifer Goines to life with chaotic brilliance. Season One of 12 Monkeys reimagines the cult classic film into a sprawling, time-twisting saga — and this episode dives deep into the creative process, character evolution, and the show's bold narrative risks.
From unraveling paradoxes to crafting emotionally grounded sci-fi, Fickett and Matalas share how they built a world where time isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a weapon. Emily Hampshire reflects on embodying Jennifer’s fractured genius and how the role challenged and transformed her as a performer.
🧠 Highlights:
Travis Fickett and Terry Matalas on adapting the 12 Monkeys mythology for television
