Playstation’s ‘Powers’ Series To Debut This March!

Briefly: We’ve been waiting patiently since its reveal in September, and today we finally learned just when we’ll be able to check out Sony’s adaptation of Powers.

Powers is “follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Susan Heyward), who are assigned to investigate cases involving people with extraordinary abilities, referred to as “Powers.” Set amidst today’s paparazzi culture, Powers asks the questions, what if the world was full of superheroes who aren’t actually heroic at all? What if all that power was just one more excuse for mischief, mayhem, murder, and endorsement deals? Enter the men and women of the Powers Division, the only people brave enough to go up against the overpaid, commercialized, superhumans who glide through the sky imposing their power over the crowds below who both worship and fear them.”

It’s based on the Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming series which I’ve heard nothing but good things about but haven’t actually read (I’ll give the ‘it’s on the list’ excuse), but I’ll watch anything with the fantastic Sharlto Copley in it, and here he plays one of our main characters, Christian Walker.

Sony revealed today (via the official Playstation blog) that the series will premiere its first three episodes on March 10th, with an additional episode coming every Tuesday until it closes its 10-episode first season. The pilot will be available to all (at least US, Sony hasn’t clarified international) PSN users for free, while Playstation Plus members will be able to watch the entire season.
