A new detective Series, Time of Death, is currently in development. This new series is developed by Simon Barry, the creator of Warrior Nun and Continuum. This new project will also be produced under a recently signed agreement between Simon's Reality Distortion Field (RDF) production company and Canadian Studio Omnifilm.Time of Death will tell the story of a haunted detective who has been seeking Britain's most elusive serial killer for years before relocating to Vancouver after completing that search. Upon arriving in his new city, he believes that the serial killer may have returned.Although he wanted to start fresh in life, this belief brought him back to his darkest days of pursuing the killer. This show is part of RDF's and Omnifilm's overall goals of producing a number of new original television shows. Additionally, the agreement between RDF and Omnifilm will allow RDF's creative ideas to be supported financially by Omnifilm.What Time of Death is about and who is behind it?Time of Death will centre on a detective haunted by his past. According to the description, after years spent chasing a dangerous serial killer in Britain, he relocates to Vancouver. Once there, he becomes convinced that his old nemesis has reappeared, even though the city is new to him. As he takes on fresh cases, the detective's obsession threatens to draw him back into the darkness he hoped he had left behind.The show is being developed by Simon Barry and his company Reality Distortion Field. Barry is a Canadian writer-producer-director who first gained fame as the creator of Continuum. He later went on to produce Warrior Nun for Netflix under RDF. Omnifilm will handle the physical production, post-production, financing, and production administration. Meanwhile, RDF will steer creative oversight and development.The goal of this partnership is to deliver scripted TV projects from concept all the way to final delivery, with high quality. Besides Time of Death, the new slate includes another project called My Homicide by Bruce Ramsay, who is known for The Porter. That show is described as a procedural about a detective haunted by his wife's unsolved murder, who teams up with an AI version of himself to solve difficult crimes.To help guide the slate, the companies have hired a scripted consultant, Alexandra Finlay. Finlay was most recently vice-president of Scripted International Co-Productions at A&E. The plan is that distribution for each new series will be handled by Canadian and international partners on a project-by-project basis.Thus, Time of Death represents a major new push for RDF and Omnifilm. Barry brings his experience in sci-fi and supernatural drama, and Omnifilm brings production power. Together, they hope to build strong new series for global audiences.What does this partnership mean for the new series?The development of Time of Death signals a few larger trends in modern television. First, established creators like Simon Barry now often partner with production houses to build full slates of content, not just single shows. This helps spread risk, pool resources, and keep creative pipelines active. The RDF-Omnifilm deal is exactly this kind of partnership.For RDF, this move comes after earlier success. Simon Barry is best known as the creator of Continuum, a Canadian sci-fi drama that ran from 2012 to 2015. He then shifted into producing and showrunning, with Warrior Nun being one of his major credits. Partnering with Omnifilm, a company active since 1979, with long experience across film, TV, factual, and scripted content, gives RDF access to a stable production infrastructure and financing.For Omnifilm, the deal opens doors to more ambitious scripted projects. Because of this cooperation, Time of Death may get access to resources and production quality that smaller independent shows often lack. It may also benefit from global distribution networks, since the plan calls for international partners handling distribution for each project.Ultimately, from a viewer’s perspective, Time of Death is an intriguing and potentially compelling combination of the well-loved detective format along with some form of the character's nightmare aspect, which creates a more dynamic tone of potential for the show that has already gained momentum in its genre, via the history of Barry's works in this format.Although at this time, Time of Death has not begun production, based on current information, there are indications that this will be a serious and ambitious production. No public release date, casting information, or trailer has been released as yet. Time of Death could develop into one of the more compelling detective-thriller TV series to look out for in the near future.
