NBC Orders DC Comics Property 'Powerless' for Series
NBC has greenlit DC Comics series Powerless, a comedy series that dabbles with the behind the scenes of the little folk - you and I - who deal with the fallout of the stuff that happens in a world of superheroes. Notably, they'll be dealing with the damage caused by these beings.
“In the first comedy series set in the universe of DC Comics, Vanessa Hudgens (“Grease Live,” “High School Musical”) plays Emily, a spunky young insurance adjuster specializing in regular-people coverage against damage caused by the crime-fighting superheroes. It’s when she stands up to one of these larger-than-life figures (after an epic battle messes with her commute) that she accidentally becomes a cult “hero” in her own right … even if it’s just to her group of lovably quirky co-workers. Now, while she navigates her normal, everyday life against an explosive backdrop, Emily might just discover that being a hero doesn’t always require superpowers. The cast includes Alan Tudyk, Danny Pudi and Christina Kirk.”
Ben Queen is writing and executive producing alongside Michael Patrick Jann, who will direct the pilot.
