The new series stars Academy Award nominee David Strathairn, and Malik Yoba. Some of the other cast members are relatively new but i could be wrong. With No Ordinary Family already canceled, is there hope for another show about people with super human capabilities?
Official Synopsis
Alphas follows a team of ordinary citizens whose brain anomalies imbue them with extraordinary mental and physical abilities. Taking the law into their own hands, the unlikely team, shepherded by Dr. Leigh Rosen (Emmy Award-winner and Oscar nominee David Strathairn) investigates cases that suggest other Alpha activity to uncover what the CIA, FBI and Pentagon have not been able, or willing, to solve. These gifted individuals must balance their quirky personalities and disparate backgrounds with their not always visible powers as they work to solve crimes, stop the ticking time bomb and catch the enemy.
Written by Zak Penn who wrote the screenplay for X-2 and X-Men: The Last Stand, the show was originally pitched to NBC studios but they passed on it. ABC decided to pick up the series with a 6 episodes order. After the WGA Strike, ABC decided to pass on it. Seems like this show has had a series of bad luck but hopefully it has finally found a home at SyFy. Whether it stays there for long is left to the viewers. The show is set to premier on July 10.
