JJ Abrams is going to have a busy year, even without starting production on STAR WARS EPISODE VII. In just a couple of months, his new show ALMOST HUMAN will debut on Fox, which has been slated to be a replacement for his much-loved sci-fi series FRINGE.
ALMOST HUMAN is set 35 years in the future and stars Karl Urban as Detective John Kennex, who has an intense hatred for androids but is forced to work with the unique Dorian, played by Michael Ealy, who unlike the other robots, has the ability to feel. Talking about the show to reporters, Abrams said:
“The overlap — the Venn diagram of these two shows — would be that they’re pushing the edge of technology and what might be possible in that regard. But the series themselves are completely different types of shows. What they’re dealing with in this type of show is much more a cop show that you might feel is familiar with a wrench thrown into that, with the huge adjustment being that the cases themselves aren’t what you’ve seen before. The truths of the differences between these characters are atypical because of the world of which it takes place.”

We’re incredibly excited about the show! Will you be watching? Or are there too many shows out there these days? Let us know what you think!

The premise sounds a lot like Asimov’s Caves of Steel/Naked Sun. I’m curious to see what Abrams will make of it.
