Long-time indie comic favourite, POWERS, has finally been snapped up by the US’s FX network who are behind DEXTER.
The comic by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming, about two detectives that solely work on crimes involving super powered individuals, has been batted around various production companies for the last couple of years and has now finally found a home. The show owes a big thank to the success of THE WALKING DEAD as TV Execs are finally seeing the light that there are a lot of comic book properties that would do incredibly well on the TV.
The pilot is written by Charles Eglee who also wrote THE WALKING DEAD and the fantastic SHIELD and will be directed by Michael Dinner who also directed the pilots of successful shows like SONS OF ANARCHY and JUSTIFIED.
The show will hopefully be out within the year.
