The Night Stalker (2005 TV series)


<span class="SFPTagline"> From SCIFIPEDIA </span>

The Night Stalker TV Series (2005), starred Stuart Townsend as Carl Kolchak, a television crime reporter whose wife's mysterious murder leads him to investigate other crimes that appear to have some kind of supernatural component. The series, which lasted less than a season, also starred Gabrielle Union as Perri Reed, Eric Jungmann as Jain McManus, and Cotter Smith as Vincenzo.

The character of Kolchak was originally played in the 1970s by Darren McGavin, in a pair of TV movies and a short-lived series that went on to become a cult favorite.

Each episode of the 2005 series usually begins with a voiceover. Individual words from the monologue drift across the screen, as Kolchak (or in at least one case, Perri) reflect on reality.

Typically, there are some unexplained murders that Kolchak investigates. There may be some connection to the overarching mystery of what happened to Kolchak's wife.
