The Fox series is set 10 years after the end of Pre-crime in Washington, D.C, when one of the Pre-cogs struggles to lead a “normal” human life. He remains haunted by visions of the future when he meets a detective who just may help him find a purpose to his gift.
Amblin Television & Paramount Television is producing the series in association with Twentieth Century Fox Television. Kevin Falls (“Journeyman”) will be the showrunner, and Spielberg is listed among the executive producers.

Jerry Bruckheimer (“Pirates of the Carribean”) and Tom Kapinos (“Californication”) are among the executive producers of the series.
