Powers, the E3 conference pace breaking show that debuted exclusively on PlayStation earlier this year, will be getting a second season. After surprisingly positive reviews – we, er, haven't watched it yet – Sony has opted to commission another series based on Brian Michael Bendis' popular comic book property.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show – which follows the lives of police officers tasked with investigating crimes involving super powers – will return in 2016. Incredibly, it seems that the whole initiative has been a massive success for Sony, with the first season one of the PlayStation Network's most-watched shows. Of course, it is free for PlayStation Plus members.
"The reception to Powers has been incredible, and we are thrilled to have successfully launched a platform for original content with the PlayStation gamer in mind," Sony boss John Koller told the aforementioned site. "We believe that original content will continue to be a key pillar as we broaden the value proposition for PlayStation Plus, and we're excited for season two of Powers."
Jamie Erlicht, who worked on the first season of the show, added: "There is a lot to look forward to in season two for both new and existing fans of the series, as we broaden the Powers universe and bring even more of the fan-favourite characters and storylines to life."

Never herd of it, is it good?
Funny, after the generally positive reviews for the first couple of episodes, I got the impression it was generally getting pretty poor as it went on. Oh well, I'll check it out at some point, but with a Netflix watchlist as long as my arm it'll be a while before I get round to it.
I'm also very surprised to hear it's been viewed so much, seeing as the marketing has been non-existent, and at least initially I gather it was almost impossible to actually find it on the store without some serious detective work!
I've never heard of this... It sounds interesting though! This may sound like a stupid question, but does anyone know how I can access it/if it's available in all regions?
Any news on when this will be out in the UK? Absolutely ridiculous that it isn't already when there are no licensing issues to worry about.
@Unashamed_116 its been on my PS3 and PS4 "desktop" as an advert since it launched...hard to miss. It also sends me messages as a PS+ user when each new episode comes out. If you dont see it plastered everywhere, its probably not in your region.
I still need to get around to watching Season 1, just have alot of other shows I'm watching now, like Daredevil etc.
You guys love the Transformers references, especially from the Rodimus era!
