Sky One has signed up as a co-production partner with Lionsgate for new sci-fi mini-series The Lost Room.

The six-parter stars Peter Krause (Six Feet Under) as a homicide detective who stumbles upon a hotel room key that unlocks the door to "a world of unimaginable power".

Filming is currently underway in New Mexico for a December premiere on Sci-Fi in the US and a January debut in the UK.

Sky One's other US co-pros include The 4400, Battlestar Galactica and The Dresden Files.
