New Scripted Series in the Works for Syfy

NEW YORK: The Syfy channel has three new scripted projects in development from Universal Cable Productions, CBS TV Studios and Fox Television Studios.

Syfy’s scripted development slate includes an untitled Robert H. Wolfe series from Universal Cable Productions. The series will feature a war-torn civilization and its newly formed Unity Democracy that orders a volatile mix of humans and trans-humans to lead the Starship Defender on an expedition in search of lost worlds.

Seeing Things (working titles) from Fox Television Studios will have David Slack executive producing, and Scott Rosenberg and Robert Cort co-executive producing. It features a cop who becomes a ghost after his violent death and the only person who can help close his last case is a man who realizes that the hallucinations he’s had all his life may not be a figment of his imagination.

The series Ghost Projekt from Oni Press and CBS TV Studios will have Brett Matthews executive producing and writing, and Andy Bourne and Eric Gitter also executive producing. Based on the popular comic series, Ghost Projekt features a female KGB agent and a male American weapons inspector who form an unlikely partnership when a deadly force is unwittingly unleashed from a Siberian research facility.

Mark Stern, the president of original content at Syfy and the co-head of original content at Universal Cable Productions, 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.”
