Netflix is reportedly developing an adult animated series adaptation of the long-running Dark Horse Comics title “Powers”.
Creators Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming are reportedly involved in the developing project with Bendis penning the pilot and Oeming involved in the show’s visual development.
A blend of police procedural and superheroes, the series follows two Chicago homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, who work in cases involving super powers.
Dark Horse Entertainment‘s Keith Goldberg and Chris Tongue will be executive producing.
Adult animation has been a successful genre for series with Amazon’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s “Invincible” comics scoring rave reviews and currently in its fourth season.
The Eisner Award-winning “Powers” was previously adapted to the screen in the mid-2010s as a live-action series for the PlayStation Network which was trying its hand at original series programming. Sharlto Copley and Susan Heyward played the leads in that series which ran for two seasons.
