Freeform is taking a different approach for their upcoming new series, Beyond.
During the panel at 2016 New York Comic Con, the network announced that on premiere night — January 2nd at 9PM — they will release the entire first season on multiple digital platforms, including the Freeform app, Freeform.com, On Demand and Hulu.
“The premiere of Beyond marks an important milestone in the history of Freeform, nearly a year since our rebrand,” Tom Ascheim, Freeform president shared. “One of the promises we made to our audience at the time was to create content they love and to make that content easily accessible. Beyond helps us live up to both promises. In the same way we modernized our brand, we are modernizing how we bring our shows to our audience.”
Beyond centers on Holden (Burkely Duffield), a young man who wakes up from a coma after 12 years and discovers new abilities that propel him into the middle of a dangerous conspiracy.
Now Holden must try and figure out what happened to him during those 12 years; how to survive a world that changed while he was gone; and answer the question, why did this happen to him?
Burkely Duffield stops by the Build Series at AOL HQ to chat up his new Freeform show, Beyond, on Friday (October 7) in New York City.
Later on, the 24-year-old Canadian actor was seen at the 2016 New York Comic Con for the panel event.

In “Touchstone of Ra”, The residents of Anubis House are nearing the end of their final term when their celebratory mood is cut short after a group of underclassmen unexpectedly move into Anubis House, and a trip to an Egyptian museum leaves the group with a strange stone in hand. The Sibunas are confronted with their greatest challenge yet as they set out to decipher the secrets behind the touchstone of the ancient Egyptian god, Ra.
As the power of the stone begins to cause chaos, it’s up to leader Eddie Miller (Burkely Duffield) and the Sibunas to solve the mystery before it’s too late. As the mystery unfolds, the Sibunas learn that not everyone is as they seem, and there’s only one among them who can save them from the powers of the stone.
House of Anubis: Touchstone of Ra will premiere on Monday, June 17th @ 9PM ET/PT on Nickelodeon. 15+ pics inside…
