Syfy's 'Happy!' TV Series Release Date, Trailer News: Ex-Cop and Blue Horse Buddy Show Airs This Fall
"Happy!" has its first trailer out online, as Grant Morrison fans look forward to the series adaptation of his comic book about a corrupt ex-cop who became a hitman. Waking up from his drunken haze, Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni) meets his absurd new partner: an imaginary blue winged horse.
SYFY has released a short teaser showing Nick, who was in the process of drinking his life away, when he meets a tiny, cheerful, and most likely illusionary blue horse. The ex-cop-turned-assassin lies strapped on a stretcher in what could be an ambulance when his new friend turns up.
Happy, voiced by Patton Oswalt, asks Nick if he could see him. As an oblivious emergency responder looks on, the horse — complete with wings and a pink horn — tells him "Here Comes the Fun!"
