Syfy is developing a spin-off of its popular Warehouse 13?dramedy series.
The project, from?Warehouse showrunner?Jack Kenny, will center on?the character of H.G. Wells.
While it is still in the early stages and thus subject to change, the idea is to put Wells?in?a 1890s steampunk environment. 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 project comes months after Kenny, who is a writer as well as executive producer on the original Warehouse, signed a development deal with producer Universal Cable Productions. ?
Warehouse 13 is the most watched original series in the cable net's history with an average of 3.4 million viewers tuning in last season. It will return for its third season on July 11.
Kenny is repped by UTA and Myman Greenspan.
