Deadline is reporting that Dean Devlin, co-writer and producer of 1994’s Stargate, is teaming with Jonathan Glassner, creator of the TV show Stargate SG-1 for a new hourlong fantasy adventure series entitled The Outpost.
Created by Jason Faller and Kynan Griffin, The Outpost revolves around “a strong female hero named Talon, the lone survivor of a race called Blackbloods, as she tracks the killers of her family to a lawless fortress on the edge of the civilized world. Along the way she discovers that she possesses a mysterious supernatural power that she must learn to control in order to save herself and defend the world against a fanatical religious dictatorship.”
“The Outpost is an exciting fantasy with a strong female lead that will capture the imagination of fans of both Game of Thrones and Wonder Woman,” said Devlin. “We couldn’t be more pleased to have Arrowstorm and Jonathan Glassner on board as our partners as we bring the show to fans worldwide.”
“Being huge genre fans ourselves, we are thrilled to be working with sci-fi heavyweights Dean Devlin and Jonathan Glassner to bring The Outpost to life,” added Faller. “Our collaboration has spawned a unique, action-packed sci-fi/fantasy hybrid — a show for real fans, by real fans.”
Production on The Outpost is set to get underway later this year, with Devlin, Glassner, Faller and Griffin serving as executive producers alongside Electric Entertainment’s Marc Roskin, Rachel Olschan and Zac Reeder.
