High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sanctuary is a Canadian science fiction-fantasy television series, created by Damian Kindler and funded largely by the Beedie Development Group. The show is an expansion of an eight-webisode series that was released at no cost through the Internet in early 2007. Seeing the success of the web series, Syfy decided to buy the rights to the series and pay for a more traditional television-based 13-episode season.
