I am – Hercules!!

ABC will air “Defying Gravity,” a 13-episode international co-production about spacebound astronauts. The series was created by James Parriott, who also created “Misfits of Science” and “Forever Knight” but has more recently been toiling in such estrogen-soaked ABC hourlongs as “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Ugly Betty.” The series stars Ron Livingston (“Office Space”), Laura Harris (“Dead Like Me”), Christina Cox (“The Chronicles of Riddick,” “Blood Ties”), Malik Yoba (“New York Undercover”) and Florentine Lahme (ABC’s terrible astronaut miniseries “Impact”). The Hollywood Reporter describes:

… is set in the near future and revolves around eight astronauts from five countries who undertake a mysterious six-year mission through the solar system.

The series will also air on Britain’s BBC, Canada's CTV, and Germany's ProSieben. Find the Reporter’s story on the matter here. Follow Herc on Twitter!
