FX has decided to pass on the current pilot of Powers.
At the Television Critics Association winter meetings, FX Networks President and General Manager John Landgraf says the network won’t give the green light to the current version of the pilot.
“We didn’t pick the pilot of Powers up,” said Landgraf, according to Collider. “We went back and Chuck Eglee, who had written that, did a fairly substantial rewrite that would require pretty extensive re-shoots of the pilot. Right now, we’re in the process of deciding whether to pull the trigger on that re-shoot.”
Comic book creator Brian Michael Bendis took to Twitter to calm fans’ fears that the show is doomed.
“Still in limbo is not the end of the world,” he wrote. “Never pity a guy with a TV deal. Lots of smart people working on it right now. Stay tuned.”
