SYFY Development Ghosts,Trans-Humans & KGB Agents

On the heels of their record-breaking quarter, Syfy are bringing more drama to the slate.

The NBCUniversal cable network known for Alphas, Sanctuary, and Warehouse 13 is developing scripted projects centered on ghosts, trans-humans and KGB agents. How many of them will be seriable — and how seriable at that? Time will tell, but here’s an outline of the projects, courtesy of THR:

Ghost Projekt
Based on the Oni Press comic series, the drama revolves around a female KGB agent and a male American weapons inspector who form an unlikely partnership when a deadly force is unwittingly unleashed in Siberia. The CBS Studios project counts Brett Matthews (Supernatural) as a writer and executive producer, with Andy Bourne and Eric Gitter on board as EPs.
Seeing Things
The Fox TV Studios project centers on a cop who becomes a ghost after his violent death. The only person who can help close his last case is a socially awkward man who realizes that the hallucinations he’s had all his life might not be a figment of his imagination. David Slack (Person of Interest) will executive produce and pen the script with Gabrielle Stanton (Haven). Scott Rosenberg and Robert Cort are attached as EPs as well.
Untitled Robert H. Wolfe Project
The drama from Universal Cable Productions is set in a postwar era in which a newly formed Unity Democracy orders a volatile mix of humans and trans-humans to lead the Starship Defender on an expedition in search of lost worlds requiring law and order. The project hails from Wolfe (Alphas), who is attached to write and executive produce.
