Produced by Universal Cable Productions and Atlas Entertainment, 12 Monkeys will be executive produced by Atlas’ Charles Roven and Richard Suckle. Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett, who wrote the pilot, will co-executive produce, as will showrunner Natalie Chaidez. Jeffrey Reiner directed and executive produced the pilot.
