‘Neverland’ — Syfy’s ‘Peter Pan’ prequel

Published December 3, 2011 5:00am ET



Airing at 9 p.m. EST Sunday and Monday, this four-hour miniseries produces a new take on Peter Pan. “Neverland” introduces Peter (Charlie Rowe) as the leader of a band of London pickpockets circa 1906. The boys have a mentor, Jimmy Hook (Rhys Ifans), who will, of course, evolve into the villainous Capt. Hook of Peter Pan lore over the course of the miniseries.

“Neverland” is executive produced by Robert Halmi Sr., and just as he rewrote the Bible in NBC’s 1999 miniseries “Noah’s Ark,” “Neverland” serves up a new backstory for the relationship between Peter and Capt. Hook.
