At Tuesday's upfronts in New York City, Syfy is expected to share details on a new 90-minute pilot for a series somewhat similar to one they've already announced.
Called "Three Inches," the pilot is from Fox Television Studios, and is being helmed by writer Harley Peyton and executive produced by Bob Cooper. Peyton is best known for his writing and producing work on the 1990s series "Twin Peaks" while Cooper has worked mostly on comedy projects in the past like "Mr. Woodcock" and "John Tucker Must Die."
The story centers on an underachiever who can move things with his mind, but only for three inches. He ends up recruiting other heroes, all with minimal abilities as well. It's slightly similar to "Alphas," which will be more a drama and less comedic, but also feature a team of superheroes.
"'Three Inches' is a fun, smart, offbeat spin on the superhero genre," Stern said. "It's a very post-modern approach, with a really wonderful tongue-in-cheek script."
