“Powers,” the first live action scripted series from Sony’s PlayStation division, will launch March 10, with the initial three episodes, Variety reported.
The gritty show, about two homicide detectives who solve murders involving superpowered criminals, is based on the comicbook of the same name, co-created by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming.
The first episode of “Powers” will be free for all viewers at PlayStation.com/Powers. The full 10-episode season will be free to members of PlayStation Plus, who pay $50 a year for an annual pass. Individual episodes will be sold on the PlayStation Store. New episodes will debut each Tuesday.
“Powers” stars Sharlto Copley (“District 10″) and Susan Heyward (“The Following”) as lead detectives Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, with Michelle Forbes, Eddie Izzard, Noah Taylor, Logan Browning and Olyesa Rulin playing heroes and villains. David Slade (“Game of Thrones”) directed the first two hourlong episodes.
