SyFy released the second trailer for “Helix” their new series that will be produced by “Battlestar Galactica’s Ron Moore and the makers of “Lost” and “The X-Files.”

It looks like it will be part Andromeda Strain and part Alien. There’s a pathogen that is threatening mankind and only Syfy holds the key to containing it.

Battlestar Galatica showrunner Ron Moore is coming back to Syfy with “Helix,” a 13-episode “thriller about a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control who travel to the high-tech research facility to investigate a possible disease outbreak, only to find themselves pulled into a terrifying life-and-death struggle that may hold the key to mankind’s salvation or total annihilation. However, the lethal threat is just the tip of the iceberg, and as the virus evolves, the chilling truth begins to unravel.”

“Helix” will star Billy Campbell from “The Killing” as Dr. Alan Farragut, the head of the Centers for Disease Control team investigating the virus. Hiroyuki Sanada from “The Wolverine” plays the director of Arctic BioSystems and its “mysterious viral research program.” Dr. Hiroshi Hataki may have a few ulterior motives up his sleeve. “Helix” also stars Kyra Zargosky as Farragut’s ex-wife Dr. Julia Walker; Jordan Hayes and Catherine Lemieux as Doctors Sarah Jordan and Doreen Boyle; Mark Ghanime as Major Sergio Balleseros; Meegwun Fairbrother as Daniel Aerov; and Neil Napier as Farragut’s brother Dr. Peter Farragut.
