According to TVLine, the network has just ordered a new genius drama for an upcoming season.
Scorpion is written by Nick Santora and its plot revolves around “an eccentric genius and his international network of super-geniuses as they form the last line of defense against the complex threats of the modern age.”
In other words, a bunch of nerdy guys trying to save the world, which is almost a safe bet from networks.
The potential series will be directed by Justin Lin, with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Ori set to executive produce.
