Flashback to Coherence
Over ten years ago, Byrkit gifted the world with a surreal sci-fi thriller, reminiscent of the eerie suspense found in the ever-popular Twilight Zone. Coherence centered on a group of eight friends.

Details regarding the plot of the sequel are still veiled in mystery. However, Byrkit assures fans that the follow-up to Coherence promises to captivate and won’t disappoint. Byrkit and Alex Manugian, the original story’s creators, are again penning the script for the sequel. Alongside them is Kate Andrews, bringing her production company – Boldly Go Productions – into the mix. Also on board is Stephen Belden who will serve as the executive producer from his company, Death Wish Entertainment.
