Variety reports (http://variety.com/2014/digital/news/sony-playstation-plays-original-programming-game-with-powers-series-1201139784/) that Sony Pictures Television will be producing an original series called "Powers," which will air via the PlayStation Network.
Powers will be an adaptation of a long-running comic of the same name, written by Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy) and illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming (Judge Dredd, Catwoman). The comic mixes crime drama and superhero fantasy, sort of like Law & Order, if Jack McCoy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_McCoy) was prosecuting Magneto.
Bendis and Oeming will also serve as producers for the show, which currently has 10 episodes in the works. No release date was given for Powers.
