Angelica
Angelica is an Empherian science fiction television programme broadcast by ENTV (subdivision of HKBC) since 2451. The programme depicts the adventures of a woman named Angelica who used futuristic and alien technology to explore the world and the universe. With various companions, aided most of the time by the White Rose Organisation, Angelica combats foes and works to save civilisations and help people in need. The show is a significant part of Empherian and surrounding nations' pop culture and has gained somewhat of a worldwide cult following. It has influenced generations of Empherian actors, with many big stars occasionally guest starring in the series.
The programme originally ran from 2452 to 2488. Following a huge increase in popularity in the 2490s, the HKBC announced it's revival would start pre-production in late 2501 with an airdate of 2502. The revival would be handled by ENTV once again, with some funding from HKBC. It has spawned numerous spin-offs, including comic books, films, novels, audio dramas, and television series including: Start of the White Rose (2457-2459); Legend of the Temple of Starhi-El (2465); and Katerina Kay (2480-2482). It has been the subject of many parodies and references in other pop culture.
Episodes
