Season 5

Sliders, the hit original SCI FI series, launches a fifth season with our intrepid team of interdimensional travelers facing their greatest challenges yet.  Beginning Friday, June 11 at 9 p.m. ET, the Sliders find themselves forever altered by the diabolical schemes of an evil scientist that forces the team into a bizarre identity crisis. All-new episodes of Sliders will air regularly on Fridays at 9 p.m. ET as part of SCI FI's original Friday night block, SCI FI Prime. Additionally, Sliders fans can enjoy nightly episodes of past seasons of the popular, action/adventure series Monday-Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.

Sliders follows a team of explorers who travel through a "sliding" vortex to parallel Earth dimensions. Some plot highlights of the new season include: Maggie as Monica (yes, that one) — is accused of having a steamy affair with the President; Rembrandt is worshipped as an ancient deity by a group excavating Los Angeles from under a desert; the Civil War is reenacted with Maggie leading the Union charge against the Confederates; and in a special episode, Rembrandt returns to a Kromagg detention facility and learns the fate of their missing original Slider teammate, Wade Welles.
