Här är några serier som är under produktion.

SCI FI Channel unveiled a new slate of programs in development, which includes shows from executive producers George Clooney, Darren Star and Mark Burnett. SCI FI made the announcement Jan. 12 at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour in Pasadena, Calif.

Diamond Age, based on Neal Stephenson's best-selling novel The Diamond Age: Or a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer, is a six-hour miniseries from Clooney and fellow executive producer Grant Heslov of Smokehouse Productions.

When a prominent member of society concludes that the futuristic civilization in which he lives is stifling creativity, he commissions an interactive book for his daughter that serves as a guide through a surreal alternate world. Stephenson will adapt his novel for the miniseries, the first time the Hugo and Nebula award winner has written for TV.

Also in development:

Avery House, produced by Burnett and Tagline Entertainment's Kelly Kulchak and Ron West and written by Dava Savel. The series deals with a bed and breakfast in which the innermost thoughts of both guests and owners miraculously come to life.

Untitled Darren Star/Mike Werb Project, a 90-minute action show from Sex and the City's Star and writer Werb. The show centers on four convicts who are given new identities and technologically enhanced bodies to join a covert wing of the government on a mission to battle threats from science run amok.

Revolution, from creators Ed Redlich (Without a Trace) and John Bellucci, is about a group of pioneers on a remote space colony who find themselves under siege by their homeland, Earth.

Middletown, from writers Coke Sams and Matt Lindahl, is a two-hour pilot about a small town in Middle America that becomes the final battlefield for Earth when nefarious aliens make the town their Ellis Island.

Johnny Midnight, from writer John Sullivan and executive producer Howard Deutch (The Replacements), is a two-hour pilot about a slacker who discovers that he has powers that can save the world from malevolent forces.

Starcrossed, from executive producers Jane Loughman and John G. Lenic, is a half-hour comedy behind the scenes of a long-running space opera, with the pilot written by David Hewlett (Stargate Atlantis).

Lite mer om starcrossed:

In the tradition of The Larry Sanders Show, Starcrossed, a high touch, high-tech comedy, obliterates the fourth wall with its behind-the-scenes antics. Throwing in a bitter dose of "Galaxy Quest" cynicism for good measure, David Hewlett (Stargate Atlantis) will draw on his own experiences to pen this quirky half-hour about life behind the camera at a long-running sci-fi space soap. Jane Loughman and John G. Lenic are serving as executive producers, with NBC Universal Television Studio on board as the production entity.

Undrar om han ska göra några inhopp med.

SCI FI Reveals Development Slate

SCI FI Channel announced a slate of new development projects, including an original miniseries from filmmaker Bryan Singer (X-Men, The Triangle) and new alternative-reality projects. Details follow.

Scripted projects

--Bryan Singer miniseries project. SCI FI re-teams with Singer and his Bad Hat Harry Productions to develop an all-new, action-adventure miniseries based on an original idea of Singer's. The project will be written by Richard C. Matheson (Masters of Horror, Nightmares and Dreamscapes). Singer will executive-produce. More details to follow.

--What If?. In the one-hour pilot episode of this drama, a near collision with a comet triggers the onset of Earth's second ice age. The event unfolds in a variety of media, including "eyewitness" cell-phone video, digital video camera imagery and video from PDAs and other communication devices, all of which capture the cataclysmic event in documentary style. The drama will attempt to be as scientifically accurate as possible about how such an Earth-shattering natural disaster would actually play out, while telling a dramatic narrative of how it will affect people's lives. The show is produced by NBC Peacock Productions.

Alternative reality programming

--Soul Evidence (working title). Self-styled psychic Allison Dubois (the real-life inspiration for NBC's Medium) leads a team of so-called psychics, scientists and investigators to solve cold-case murders. The project comes from Red 23 Entertainment and is executive-produced by Sam Korkis, Mark Ganshirt and Garry Hart. Dubois also serves as executive producer.

--Danger Game. This series takes viewers behind the scenes at a secretive organization known as Modern Reality Adventures, which creates alternate-reality experiences for select clients. Each episode follows MRA as it constructs unnervingly convincing scenarios around an unwitting client, climaxing in a tightly choreographed finale. The show is produced by Superfine Films.

--Relic Quest (working title). The show is described as an action-adventure series that goes in search of some of the greatest relics in history around the globe. Producer/director Bruce Burgess guides the viewer in a first-hand exploration down mysterious roads to uncover artifacts fabled to hold hidden powers and mystical significance for both ancient and modern cultures. Produced by Bluebook Films.

--Escape. Three contestants locked in a room must endure a series of physical challenges, decipher riddles and break codes in order to escape. As the clock ticks, their prize money decreases and their anxiety builds, while three contestants locked in an identical room also race to find their own way out. The show is produced by Emmy-nominated Dan Cutforth and Jane Lipsitz of Magical Elves, with Riaz Patel.

SCI FI Green-Lights Series

SCI FI announced that it has given a green light to three new series, including Cash or Capture and Estate of Panic, two reality competition series, and Outer Space Astronauts, a half-hour comedy. Details of the new shows follow.

--Cash or Capture (working title). SCI FI has ordered six one-hour episodes of this show, which is slated to debut in November. It is described as an action-packed, edge-of-your-seat reality competition show that pits a group of contestants against each other in the quest for a cash prize, while being stalked by relentless "hunters." Based on a successful Japanese format from Fuji Television, the action takes place over 60 minutes of real time in various landmark locations. Rick Telles serves as executive producer of Cash or Capture, which comes from Disney's Buena Vista Productions and Fujisankei Communications International.

--Estate of Panic. SCI FI has ordered six one-hour episodes of this series, which is also slated for a November premiere. From the producers of NBC's Fear Factor, Estate of Panic is described as a physically and psychologically challenging competition in which large quantities of cash are hidden in a massive estate, and seven strangers are invited to find the money. But all is not what it seems, and the contestants will be challenged throughout the mansion to overcome the terrors that await them. Estate of Panic comes from Endemol USA and is executive-produced by Richard Hall.

--Outer Space Astronauts (working title). SCI FI has ordered five 30-minute segments of this comedy. In the future, many courageous souls journey to the far reaches of the galaxy, seeking knowledge, adventure and the thrill of exploration. The rest are the Outer Space Astronauts. The slovenly Captain Ripley commands the "space-ially" challenged crew of the O.S.S. Oklahoma as they go about their daily routine of working in space. The show, created by Russell Barrett, is a combination of live action, 3-D and 2-D animation. Barnett, Scott Puckett and David O. Russell executive-produce.
