Exceptionals
who gets angry… really angry…
in the Exceptionals series concept pilot.
When seemingly normal people from all over the world discover they have exceptional abilities, they must learn to harness their powers to combat assailants, protect secrets, alter events, and ultimately band together to confront a mysterious force.
- Exceptionals is a one-hour sci-fi drama series set in our present-day world. Story arcs take place mostly in the United States, India and China.
- It’s a story about normal people who discover they have exceptional mental or physical abilities and how they integrate these powers into their lives.
- Exceptionals‘ stories include futuristic concepts, yet they are grounded in our reality and introduced in a way that honors the awe and wonder a real person would feel when encountering these. The stories are laced, but not over-burdened, with thought-provoking science fiction that will appeal to both sci fi and drama fans. There’s also a great amount of detail and research behind the biology, medicine and physics in the show, so it will appeal to the hard-core sci fi geek who often laments that the science in science fiction is ignored. Much like Star Trek, and most definitely for fans of that franchise, this show includes enough detail and careful planning that those who watch it over and over will find a lot to appreciate.
Exceptionals. He has a subtle super-power:
telepathy blocking.
The world of our characters is one of much danger and suspense, but it’s not a dystopia. There is plenty of hope and humor. The show embraces the highs and lows of the human condition and celebrates the possibilities of science.
Exceptionals was written by Rochelle Muzquiz, Greg Kerr and Amy Tsang. They wrote scripts primarily in English, but also include Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Urdu, French and German dialogue.
