Part gritty cop drama, part superhero comic, the graphic novel Powers seemed destined for a live-action adaptation since issues first hit stands. In fact, this comic series by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming has been in development to become a film or TV series since the rights for the book were purchased in 2002. After numerous false starts and an entire television pilot was made for and scrapped by the FX channel, however, hopes had dimmed. Now, it looks to be that the live-actionPowers will finally hit the streets.

According to Deadline, Powers is being developed by Sony Pictures TV as an exclusive series for the emerging PlayStation Network video service. The TV show will take the form of a live-action, hour-long show, with around 10 episodes in the first season. Charlie Huston is the teleplay writer on the new Powers pilot (and we assume will also lead the writing team for the series,) and former Falling Skies head writer Remi Aubuchon also is on board. Original comic book creators Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming are on board as executive producers.

Over the years, IGN has made it a personal mission to ask the studio heads at FX about plans for Powers at every major industry event, and as recently as the 2013 TCA event, FX’s president John Landgraf stated that the series was still in development. Here’s what Landgraf had to say in IGN’s 2013 interview about Powers:

“So what ended up happening was we reconstituted the whole thing around Charlie as the creator, with Brian. Charlie went up to Seattle, and they sat down and they talked, and read through all the books, and they came back with a new vision, basically. Essentially, a new pilot to begin with, which is a new, different story than the pilot that we shot. So that pilot is officially gone and dead, and the actors are all gone, but we’re developing a whole new pilot from scratch.”
