If you hadn’t already heard (where have you been?!) SciFiNow has partnered with sci-fi app The Companion to bring you more genre goodies in the form of our new digital offering: SciFiNow+ and Issue One is out now!

Reading like a regular magazine in the form of an app that you simply swipe through, SciFiNow+ has all you could need to quench those genre cravings.

This issue covers the long-awaited sequel (it was supposed to be released in June!), Wonder Woman 1984 and we sit down with director Patty Jenkins to discuss why she’s set her latest movie in the Eighties. We also take a look at all the wonderful releases we have coming our way from LucasFilm, Marvel Studios and Disney which were announced at Disney’s recent Investor Day and review one of the most surprising horror successes of the year: Host.

That’s not all! We also sit down to speak with the hilarous Andrew Shaffer to discuss his new Yuletide horror, Secret Santa and look back at the classic sci-fi series with our Flashback on The Outer Limits!

In a year that has brought nothing but bad news for magazine publishers, we’re delighted to announce SciFiNow+, a new fortnightly digital launch from SciFiNow and The Companion.

SciFiNow+ has been carefully crafted to reflect the prestige format magazine experience, with high-quality covers, world-beating entertainment journalism, news, reviews, analysis, retro throwback features, and interviews, all under the curation of SciFiNow Editor Rachael Harper.

“The print magazine launched in 2007 when there was a clear appetite for the wave of high-quality US shows that were being overlooked by existing film and TV mags,” explains Rachael. “Since then the brand has continued to innovate. With the print magazine on hiatus, SciFiNow+ is the best way to continue that legacy whilst better reflecting the way that our global audience consume the books, comics, movies and TV series that they love.”

SciFiNow+ Issue 1 is released 15 December and leads with exclusive coverage of the eagerly anticipated and much-delayed Wonder Woman 1984, including an interview with director Patty Jenkins as well as author interviews, news, reviews and a Flashback to The Outer Limits.

Unlike the print magazine which was released every four weeks, SciFiNow+ will be released fortnightly. This change in frequency will allow for closer coverage of the streaming shows and movies that have come to dominate lives with the onset of Covid-19, allowing the magazine content to shape the debate around shows like The Mandalorian, The Expanse and Star Trek: Discovery.

“With twice as many coveted SciFiNow issues a year, SciFiNow+ has greater freedom to champion emerging SF authors and independent films,” Rachael continues. “Also, as a fortnightly digital magazine free from advertising constraints, SciFiNow+ has no barriers when it comes to telling the stories that our readers are the most passionate about.”

SciFiNow+ will be released within The Companion, a subscription-based app and website offering clickbait-free original content for fandoms which have been underserved by mainstream entertainment media. Existing Companion members will have access to SciFiNow+, whilst SciFiNow readers will have access to The Companion’s daily deep-dives, interviews, podcasts, and star-studded video AMAs. The list of recent contributors to The Companion includes Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe co-creator Brad Wright, and SF novelist Tessa B. Dick, wife of the late Philip K. Dick and uncredited co-writer of A Scanner Darkly.

Access to SciFiNow+ and The Companion is $6.99 monthly or $69.99 for a year. A 40% discount is available using the code ‘SciFiNow40’ for a limited time only. Click here to subscribe.

To find the app, search ‘The Companion for Sci-Fi’ on the App Store or Google Play. The app can also be accessed on the web at thecompanion.app.
