POWERS, PLAYSTATION'S FIRST ORIGINAL SERIES, TO DEBUT FIRST LOOK TRAILER AT NEW YORK COMIC CON

Panel and Autograph Signing Set for October 11

Susan Heyward, Noah Taylor, Olesya Rulin, Logan Browning and Eddie Izzard, along with executive producer and co-creator of the graphic novels, Brian Bendis will debut the first footage of the highly anticipated series during their New York Comic Con panel on Saturday, October 11 at 3:15pm on the Empire Stage 1E.

Powers, an edgy dramatic series from Sony Pictures Television and inspired by the graphic novel series of the same name, follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker (Sharlto Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Susan Heyward), who are assigned to investigate cases involving people with extraordinary abilities, referred to as "Powers." Set amidst today's paparazzi culture, Powers asks the questions, what if the world was full of superheroes who aren't actually heroic at all? What if all that power was just one more excuse for mischief, mayhem, murder, and endorsement deals? Enter the men and women of the Powers Division, the only people brave enough to go up against the overpaid, commercialized, superhumans who glide through the sky imposing their power over the crowds below who both worship and fear them.

Brian Bendis commented.

"From the minute he stepped onto the set Sharlto has invested every part of himself into this role. He adds layers and layers into Christian Walker. He is doing everything I hoped he would do, which is make the television version of this character unique and exciting. And Susan, my god! From her very first audition she has embodied the character of Deena Pilgrim. I think people are going to be completely sucked in by both of their performances and unique perspectives on this world that Charlie Huston has built."

Executive producer Charlie Huston added.

"No matter how many guns or super powers you throw into a TV show, no one is going to watch if they don't give a damn about your main characters. Sharlto and Susan are my secret weapons, my super powers; dynamic talents that viewers will definitely give a damn about."

During the "Powers: Bringing the Graphic Novels to Life Exclusively on PlayStation" panel, fans will jump into the world of Powers as the team shares their journey turning the beloved graphic novels into a live-action drama series for PlayStation.
