Syfy's "Sanctuary" Season 2 follows the adventures of the beautiful, enigmatic and always surprising Dr. Helen Magnus, her new recruit, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman, and her fearless daughter, Ashley. Together they track down, study and protect the strange and often terrifying creatures that secretly populate our world and live among us in "Sanctuary."

While some want to dismiss them as monstrous figments of our imaginations and the stuff of our childhood nightmares, Magnus recognizes that the world is full of nature's mistakes and triumphs and has the spectacular proof that they are indeed real.

Will, an insightful psychiatric profiler with a knack for finding the strange and curious, reluctantly joins the team on "Sanctuary" to aid in the study of beings he can hardly believe himself. Together, Magnus, Will, Ashley, and quirky tech-whiz Henry use their unique combination of instinct, medicine and cutting edge technology to find the creatures that lurk in the corners of our civilization on "Sanctuary" and protect us from those too dangerous to be roaming free.

"Sanctuary" stars Amanda Tapping ("Stargate SG-1"), Robin Dunne ("Dawson's Creek"), Emilie Ullerup ("Battlestar Galactica"), Christopher Heyerdahl ("Stargate Atlantis") and Ryan Robbins ("Battlestar Galactica"). Joining the cast of "Sanctuary" in Season 2 is Agam Darshi as Kate Freelander, a con artist and thief who finds herself in an uneasy alliance with Dr. Magnus.

Braving new worlds in each episode is just the start for "Sanctuary" Season 2. The series is also proudly credited for pioneering new techniques and technology in television production.

"Sanctuary" is the only series to shoot extensively on green screen using extraordinary visual effects and virtual sets. "Sanctuary" is also the first in North America to shoot with the new RED camera, a digital system that captures images at more than double the resolution of a high definition camera, resulting in a look that is unmatched on television.

Helmed by some of the innovative talents behind "Stargate SG-1" and "Stargate Atlantis," the "Sanctuary" creative team includes executive producer, writer and creator Damian Kindler; executive producer and lead actor Amanda Tapping; and executive producer and director Martin Wood. In addition, Sam Egan ("Jeremiah," "The Outer Limits") serves as executive producer and writer on "Sanctuary," along with John Smith ("Stargate SG-1," "Stargate Atlantis") and Keith Beedie as executive producers.

"Sanctuary" is produced in association with Syfy and is distributed by Tricon Films and Television.
