At a press conference on Monday, SONY unveiled a new TV show to debut exclusively on The Playstation Network.
'Powers' which has been in development at FX since 2011, will instead air on the streaming platform. The show originally had a full creative team in place and shot a pilot with Jason Patric and Lucy Punch in the lead roles. The co creator of the comic book himself, Brian Michael Bendis took to the stage to announce the show with crime novelist Charlie Huston and Remi Aubuchon (Falling Skies) who will also serve as part of the creative team on the project. Bendis promised casting announcements and updates during the summer. The first episode will be free to all users with PS Plus subscribers receiving the whole first season at no extra cost. The crime noir/ fantasy series follows homicide detectives Christain Walker and Deena Pilgrim who tackle cases involving people with superhuman abilities.
