SyFy Orders Pilot for Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's Spy Series, 'Incorporated'


Whether they're in the same movie or not, best buds Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are always attached at the hip. The duo are preparing their next steps into scripted TV with the espionage series, Incorporated, which SyFy has just ordered a pilot for.

Damon and Affleck will exec-produce Incorporated, with David and Alex Pastor writing the screenplay and directing. The series is set in a future where companies have unlimited power, and follows Ben Larson, an exec who must change his identity, infiltrate a cut-throat company, and take on the system to save the woman he loves. Ted Humphrey (The Good Wife) will serve as showrunner for the series which is described as "having elements of suspense, action, a dark sense of humor and taking viewers into a world where ethical boundaries have been completely redrawn.

Affleck and Damon's Pearl Street banner also has series The Middle Man developing over at Fox with Affleck set to direct an episode at some point, and they'll also be part of a revived Project Greenlight competition series at HBO. [THR]
