According to "Powers" comic book co-creator Brian Michael Bendis, the FX network has followed up on the 2011 "Powers" TV pilot adaptation of the super hero action adventure comic book series, ordering up several new episode scripts.
"Based on the pilot, the network ordered a handful of new scripts for new episodes and the writers should be handing them in soon," said Bendis. "Its slow and steady but we are still alive."
In the pilot, actor Charles S. Dutton ("The L Word") stars as 'Captain Cross', the head of a homicide police department and Jason Patric ("Narc") as 'Detective Christian Walker'. Lucy Punch plays 'Deena Pilgrim".
The "Powers" pilot is produced by Sony Pictures Television and FX Productions, written by Charles H. Eglee ("The Walking Dead") and directed by Michael Dinner ("Justified").
The first volume of "Powers" ran from 2000 to 2004. Subsequent volumes, beginning in 2004 were published by Marvel Comics as part of their Icon publishing imprint.
