Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
ReGenesis premiered months before the 2003 SARS outbreak in Toronto, making its first season eerily prescient and briefly controversial for being 'too soon.'
The show consulted with real molecular biologists including Dr. David Evans; several plotlines were based on declassified biodefense research that couldn't be aired until years later.
