The ABC premiere event is here. Life on Mars, based on the BBC hit, airs Oct. 9 with “Out in the Fields.”
Modern-day NYPD Detective Sam Tyler finds himself suddenly hurtled back to the tumultuous times of New York City in 1973 when he’s hit by a car while chasing down a criminal. The woman he loves is 35 years away. Will he be able to get back to her?
More importantly, can the ABC remake match up to the original?
Catch the Life on Mars series premiere at Thursday, Oct 9 at 10/9C on ABC, right after Grey’s Anatomy.

















I think the ABC remake is going to be really really good. It’s a great cast (keitel et al) and set in NYC. I’m looking forward to seeing Jason O’Mara again too. After this season’s disappointing new shows, i have high hopes for Life on Mars.
