SyFy is reportedly developing a spin-off to its hit series Warehouse 13.
The series would center on H.G. Wells, introduced to the mythology in season two. The series would be set in the 1890’s and have a steampunk feel to it. Despite Warehouse 12’s efforts to recruit her, she would remain a free agent who uses her knowledge of contemporary science to solve murders and other mysteries.
In this incarnation, she would enlist the help of a mechanical engineer and utilize her relationship with the police commissioner to solve what appear to be unsolvable cases. Both the skills and style she employs will become the framework for the well-known stories of H.G. Wells, as written by her brother.
The series is being developed by Warehouse 13 producer Jack Kenny.
The details on the spin-off are in the discussion stage and could change as we move forward.
The third season of Warehouse 13 kicks off July 11.
Neat!
I’m on board with this.
I’m kind of not interested. The whole steampunk thing doesn’t do it for me. I may just skip this unless I hear that it’s really good.
Interesting, and while I like W13, a spinoff is not enough to make up for killing SGU
Sean,
I’m going to be bitter for a little while longer given the cancellation of SGU and Caprica but a W13 spin-off sounds great.
Meh. I don’t think Wells’ character is strong enough to play a lead role in a series. Viewers will be going into it with a Darth Vader expectation, and we saw how well that worked with Star Wars episodes 1-3…
