What is ‘Opposite Worlds’ about? ‘Caveman vs Astronaut’ will be answered | Syfy

It was the most divisive topic that Angel and Spike had, other than over Buffy. Astronauts or Cave Men? Who wins? This year, Syfy aims to find out.

What is “Opposite Worlds” about?

An all-new reality series pitting contestants in a past vs. future competition – featuring a live social experiment – Opposite Worlds will run for 12 episodes over six weeks (two episodes per week), with the second weekly episode featuring a live element (a first for a Syfy reality series).

In Opposite Worlds, 14 people from all walks of life face off in opposing teams that live in a house separated into two distinctly different worlds: one past and one future, each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages. Adding to the drama is a glass wall dividing the house into the two environments, allowing the teams to watch, envy and dread each other’s every move. Every week, as cast members compete in a series of fast-paced challenges, viewers will be asked to participate in real time on social media and affect the outcome of each player’s fate.
