British series Second Sight is getting a second launch — this time in the U.S.
CBS has ordered a pilot based on the series. The gothic psychological thriller follows a detective who is suddenly infected with an autoimmune virus that causes hallucinations that reflect his subconscious. He soon discovers that catching the killer depends on insight as much as eyesight.
The U.S. adaptation comes from Homeland executive producer Michael Cuesta, who wrote the pilot along with his brother Gerald Cuesta. Both would also executive-produce, and Michael will direct the pilot.

Sounds good!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds.... Weird and too convenient- his hallucinations will always lead him to solve the case?
ReplyDeleteWell from what I know about second sight, it's as much about the subconscious of the people around the second sighter as it is about the second sighter. I think they just messed up their words
ReplyDeleteI really liked the original, but that series was mostly carried by the charismatic and talented Clive Owen. I'm not sure how a remake will work, but the success will depend a lot on casting the right lead actor!
ReplyDeleteIn the original, the main character had a virus attack his eyesight and he was slowly losing it.
ReplyDeletehmmm sounds too close to Awake!
ReplyDeleteMight not be a bad thing though....
ReplyDeleteSounds.... interesting....
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the original. Is it worth a watch?
