NBC is producing a new dystopian/cyberpunk TV series called Beautiful People about a world where humans and androids co-mingle and they've cast the first leads. The project, written by Michael McDonald, will stars James Murray (Chaos) and Patrick Heusinger (Royal Pains).


Synopsis:
Beautiful people is set in the near future in a society where humans co-exist with mechanical androids that look like people but are treated like second-class citizens. It centers on the very wealthy Lydia, whose late husband founded the firm that makes Mechanicals.

James Murray will play her son, a handsome and very successful attorney who’s lived a rich and privileged life but makes a name for himself by publicly suggesting that Mechanicals might have civil rights — a notion that’s largely scoffed at. Patrick Heusinger will play a family man employed as a servant in Lydia’s home who is in fact a Mechanical, but after one of his daughters is killed in a car accident, he proves to be “defective” as he’s plagued with forbidden emotions like grief and loss.


So based on that synopsis, I guess Mechanicles can reproduce? The pilot for Beautiful People will be directed by Stephen Hopkins (Predator 2, The Reaping).

More as it comes!

In case you're wondering what movie the above image is from it's Android with Klaus Kinski.
