Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Syfy has announced that they are developing three new scripted dramas with Star Trek‘s Robert Hewitt Wolfe, Supernatural‘s Brett Matthews and Person of Interest‘s David Slack as their executive producers.

Wolfe’s project, as yet untitled, is set in a postwar era in which a newly formed Unity Democracy orders a volatile mix of humans and trans-humans to lead the Starship Defender on an expedition in search of lost worlds requiring law and order.

Matthews will oversee the adaptation of the Oni Press comic Ghost Projekt, in which a female KGB agent and a male American weapons inspector team up when a deadly force is unwittingly unleashed in Siberia.

Slack will be working on Seeing Things about a cop who becomes a ghost after his violent death, and has to work with a “socially awkward man who realizes that the hallucinations he’s had all his life might not be a figment of his imagination” to solve his final case. Despite the apparent similarities, this is not connected to the revamp of Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) that is still under consideration.

Discussing the new shows, Syfy President Mark Stern said, “This broad-based slate, from top-notch talent in the creative community, will enable us to build upon the strong foundation of our current hit scripted series to provide Syfy viewers with the next generation of imaginative entertainment.”
