As background, SYFY, Tongal and Wattpad recently announced that they would be joining forces to develop a digital pilot for Expiration Date. The campaign kicked off with a call for filmmakers to pitch how they would bring Expiration Date to life as a digital series for SYFY.com. Now, three talented Tongal filmmakers have created trailers showcasing how they would adapt the story for the screen.

It's up to fans to bring the project to the finish line. The trailer with the most votes by November 6, 2018 will be adapted as a full digital pilot for SYFY.com.

Expiration Date was one of the most popular sci-fi stories on Wattpad in 2016 and 2017, with more than 16 million reads to date. Mikaela Bender's sci-fi thriller Expiration Date takes place in a world where the date of one's death is known by the mysterious Society. Centered on 19-year-old orphan Iris Levine, the story imagines a society in which citizens are marked with their "Expiration Date"- the day they are supposed to die- at birth. When Iris's expiration date arrives, a mysterious man saves her from imminent death. Having survived her expiration date, Iris is now the Society's biggest threat.
