Powers - Casting News

Bailee Madison has joined FX's drama pilot Powers. Based on the graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming, the project, written by Charles H. Eglee and to be directed by Michael Dinner, is a police procedural set in a world where superpowers are relatively common and centers on two detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, in a Homicide department that deals with cases involving "powers" (people with superpowers). The 11-year-old Madison will play Calista, an otherworldly young girl raised by her stepdad Eagle, a man with powers. When Eagle's wife is murdered and he goes on the lam, Calista comes to stay with Walker and develops a bond with him. Madison will next be seen in Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.
