Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are getting into television with Incorporated, a new pilot for SyFy. The futuristic drama earned a pilot order on Monday, the network announced.
Incorporated was created by David and Alex Pastor (Selfless, The Last Days) and is set in a dystopian future based on today’s trends. In this world, businesses have incredible control in Washington and wealth is owned by a shrinking minority. Ben Larson ends up fighting the system in an effort to save the woman he loves.
The Good Wife’s Ted Humphrey will be the showrunner, should the series survive the pilot stage. Affleck and Damon will executive produce through their Pearl Street Productions with Humphrey and Jennifer Todd. Pearl Street Film’s Margaret Chernin is the associate producer.
Pearl Street is co-producing with CBS TV Studios and Universal Cable Productions.
“Incorporated provides us distinct insight into a world dictated by our decisions today. Viewers will delve into the intricacies of our future, one that we are constantly warned of, but as a society have not yet explored,” Damon and Affleck said in a statement. “We believe this is an important and timely story to tell and can think of no one better to guide us into this than David, Alex and Ted.”
Affleck and Damon are also working on a new season of HBO’s Project Greenlight. Their company is also producing Affleck’s film adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s Live By Night.
