Seems like Syfy is joining the fray and getting there own superhero tv series about ordinary citizens who gain extraordinary abilities called Alphas. Syfy was impressed by the 90 minute pilot, because Alphas just got the green light for 11 episodes in addition to that 90-minute pilot. Here's how an earlier Syfy press release described the series:
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, led by Dr. Lee Rosen (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.
According to The Hollywood Reporter:
David Strathairn (Good Night and Good Luck) headlines the cast which also includes Warren Christie, Malik Yoba, Laura Mennell, Ryan Cartwright and Azita Ghanizada. Callum Keith Rennie (Battlestar Galactica) guest stars in the pilot.
Filming will begin early next year in Toronto, and the series will debut next summer.
