Crusade Season One

Crusade Season One

CRUSADE begins after a savage attack on Earth by the Drakh, allies of the evil Shadows. Earth's fleets have succeeded in defeating the aliens, but not their final revenge: a biogenetic plague that will eliminate all human life on Earth, unless a cure can be found. The White Star Fleet -- led by the advanced prototype warship, the Excalibur -- combs the ruins of races, far more advanced than Earth is, to find the cure that will save the human race.

Gary Cole will lead the cast as Captain Matthew Gideon, commanding officer of the Excalibur. Cole also appears in the upcoming feature releases "A Simple Plan", with Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton; "I'll Be Home For Christmas", with Jonathan Taylor Thomas; and "Kiss The Sky". He recently completed production on "Office Space", with Jennifer Aniston, director Mike Judge. His credits also include "From the Earth to the Moon", "The Brady Bunch Movie", "A Very Brady Sequel", "Gang Related" and "In The Line Of Fire", with Clint Eastwood. On television, Cole starred in the series "American Gothic" and "Midnight Caller" and received critical acclaim for his role in the miniseries "Fatal Vision".

Daniel Dae Kim stars as Lieutenant John Matheson, second-in-command of the Excalibur. Most recently, Kim was seen in "The Jackal" and "Addicted To Love".
