ElectricNOW’S New Powered-Up App Unleashes “Wizards vs. Aliens” as part of an Action-Packed May Streaming Line-Up
Fresh on the heels of ElectricNow (ENOW)’s major platform upgrade—featuring enhanced functionality, expanded programming, and more than 60 free LIVE channels—the service is unveiling a dynamic slate of content for May. Leading the lineup is the premiere of “Wizards vs. Aliens,” a fantasy adventure following a young wizard battling magic-eating extraterrestrials. Also joining the platform is “Generation Z,” a darkly comedic series centered on a group of teens navigating a zombie outbreak, and “The Messenger,” a gripping drama about an ordinary man who becomes an unlikely hero after receiving mysterious messages through playing cards. Finally, rounding out the month, fans of Electric Entertainment’s SYFY original “The Ark” can now stream Seasons 1 & 2 of Dean Devlin’s sci-fi survival drama set aboard a damaged spacecraft fighting to preserve humanity’s future.
A brief summary of each of the titles is below:
Wizards vs. Aliens
Co-created by Russell T. Davies, best known for his work on “Doctor Who,” this family-friendly sci-fi adventure fantasy follows Tom Clarke, an ordinary, popular 16-year-old with an extraordinary secret. Tom is a wizard, trained by his family, who uses spells that make his life easier. But his secret life is upended when the Nekross, a magic-consuming alien race, invades Earth with the mission to drain the world of all magic. Teaming up with his best friend Benny, the school geek and science genius, Tom must face the powerful Nekross King in a high-stakes battle to protect humanity. Davies brings a similar sense of adventure and imaginative storytelling to this series as he did for “Doctor Who.”
“Generation Z” and “The Messenger”
Set in the quiet town of Dambury, the darkly comedic “Generation Z” erupts into chaos when a chemical leak from an overturned army truck outside a care home unleashes a grotesque apocalypse, turning elderly residents into flesh-hungry predators. As the infection spreads, a group of teenagers—Charlie, Kelly, Steff, and Finn—are thrust into a nightmare when one of their own grandmothers is among the first to turn. Forced to fight for survival, they must navigate fractured relationships, buried secrets, and the terrifying truth behind the deadly spill before it consumes everything in its path.
“The Messenger” is a gripping drama centered on Ed Kennedy, an ordinary taxi driver whose life is upended after he unexpectedly foils a robbery and becomes an unlikely hero. The very next day, he begins receiving cryptic messages hidden within playing cards—each one directing him toward a new, mysterious task. As Ed follows the cards’ increasingly complex and morally charged instructions, he is pulled into a transformative journey that challenges his purpose, tests his limits, and reveals a deeper force guiding his every move.
The Ark S1 and S2
The original SYFY hit TV-series, “The Ark” is set 100 years in the future. Planetary colonization missions have begun as a necessity to help secure the survival of the human race. The remaining crew of the first of these missions, aboard a spacecraft called Ark One, encountered a catastrophic event, causing massive destruction and loss of life. With resources dwindling and tensions rising, the crew must become the best versions of themselves to survive and determine humanity’s future.
