LatestThe pirates head back to the ship and Tinker Bell brings Peter to a tree spirit colony.
Raised on the streets of turn-of-the century London, orphaned Peter and his pals survive by their fearless wits as cunning young pickpockets. Now, they've been rounded up by their mentor Jimmy Hook to snatch a priceless—some believe, magical—treasure which transports them to Neverland.
Acting
Rhys Ifans doing Young Hook with chaotic bisexual energy.
Production
Bonkers worldbuilding: alien fairies, Native tribes, and steampunk pirates.
Costume
Captain Bonny's leather pirate queen aesthetic deserved better scripts.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Nick Willing also directed the 1999 Alice in Wonderland and 2010's Tin Man—this completes his 'dark Syfy fairy tale trilogy nobody asked for.'
This aired during peak 'gritty fairy tale reimagining' era (2011-2012) alongside Once Upon a Time and Grimm, but Syfy's budget made it feel charmingly janky instead of glossy.
