The marketing may be leaning heavily on the fact that this comes from George R.R. Martin - it's an adaptation of his novella, and he serves as an executive producer - but it's a much different proposition to Game of Thrones.

The story takes place in 2093, on the eve of Earth's destruction. It follows a space voyage made up of the world's smartest scientists, and a telepath, that aims to contact alien lifeforms and find a way of saving mankind. Which, of course, doesn't go well.

Martin has referred to it as "Psycho in space", so the horror elements should be just as pronounced as the sci-fi ones, and it sounds like an ambitious effort from Syfy.
