Manfred, a charming, powerful psychic who can communicate with spirits and finds safety in Midnight by surrounding himself with both human and supernatural allies. However, Manfredā€™s new home and his new friends are soon under threat as the town fights off outside pressures from ever-suspicious cops, deadly biker gangs and their own dangerous pasts, but they band together to form an unlikely but strong family.

ā€œAs the ultimate science fiction fan, Syfy puts great storytelling at the heart of what we do,ā€ commented Chrystele Fremaux, VP Programming, UK & Emerging Markets, NBCUniversal International Networks. ā€Supernatural drama MIDNIGHT, TEXAS ā€“ with its community of vampires, witches, werewolves, psychics and other-worldly characters ā€“ is a perfect choice for Syfy viewers who come to us to Imagine Greater.ā€
