Kiefer Sutherland's 'Touch' to get online spinoff 'Daybreak'

Kiefer Sutherland's Touch is to get a new online spinoff series.

Daybreak is described as "a series of online films... about the magic of technology and a global conspiracy to control an ancient and powerful object called a dodecahedron".

Touch creator Tim Kring announced the web project on his blog, writing: "On Touch, we recently introduced a 12-sided shape called a dodecahedron. It's a real thing, which many believe has mystical powers.

"You'll see it again in the May 31 season finale. And its journey will continue that same day in the premiere chapter of Daybreak, a series of webisodes."

The online series will star Sarah Roemer (The Event) and Ryan Eggold (90210).

"Daybreak doesn't share any common cast or plot lines with Touch, but it will have a similar look and feel," explained Kring.

"It's directed by Jon Cassar, best known for his work on 24, and will follow the exploits of protagonist Ben Wilkins (played by Ryan Eggold).

"Basically, Wilkins's life is turned upside down by the dodecahedron. It's a great story - with lots of twists and turns."

Touch airs on Thursdays at 9pm on Fox in the US and on Tuesdays at 8pm on Sky1 in the UK. A second season has already been ordered.
