ABC’s sci-fi drama V returns from hiatus this coming Tuesday, March 30th at 9 pm (10pm central). Culver City, California’s Zoic Studios produces visual effects for the series, which is a re-imagining of the beloved 1980s miniseries. It stars Morena Baccarin (Firefly, Serenity), Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost), and Joel Gretsch (The 4400).

Zoic’s creative director, Andrew Orloff, discussed his excitement for the upcoming episodes.

It’s a big season, with a lot of surprises and a lot of new stuff. We’re spending a lot more time on the mothership. We’re getting a lot more into Anna, and the Vs and what they are really up to. We can’t give away too much, but there’s a lot happening, and a lot more to the visual effects — it’s going to be very cool. We’re continuing with the virtual set work we’ve been doing, and the virtual prosthetic work.

We’ll see a lot more of the V technology; we’re going to see a lot more of the V physiology; we’re going to see more of everything. We’re working a lot to create the reality of the whole environment. It’s going to be a lot of fun.

They’re really pushing the limits – it’s something that’s going to be really unprecedented as far as the scope of it. The scope is expanding astronomically for the first couple of episodes.

Be sure to watch the new episode of V, “Welcome to the War,” next Tuesday night at 9pm on ABC!
