Fox is doing well with Gotham this year with the way that series is working out in the ratings and it looks like they’re going to try another one for the season next year. The new pilot that they’ve got an order in for is from the twelve issue series Global Frequency, which was created by Warren Ellis for the Vertigo Comics imprint. The TV series adaptation is going to be penned by Rockne S. O’Bannon, who is well known for his work on Farscape as well as the more recent Defiance. The project is coming out of producer Jerry Bruckheimer with Jonathan Littman, Warren Ellis and O’Bannon serving as executive producers as well for with Warner Bros. TV.
This is the second time that the property has been attempted as it was developed back in 2005 with Michelle Forbes and Josh Hopkins leading it, but it didn’t go to series.
Comic concept: Global Frequency is a worldwide rescue organization that offers the last shred of hope when all other options have failed. Manned by 1001 operatives, the Frequency is made up of experts in fields as diverse as bio-weapon engineering and Le Parkour Running. Each agent-equipped with a special mobile vid-phone-is speciffically chosen by Miranda Zero, enigmatic leader of the Global Frequency, based on proximity, expertise, and, in some cases, sheer desperation!
