William Shatner is developing a mixed-reality adult animated series based on his TekWar detective novels

Deadline

Developed and written by Matt Michnovetz, TekWar is based on Shatner's series of detective novels, first published in 1989, set in the year 2043. It follows a former detective in futuristic Los Angeles who was framed for the crime of dealing an illegal mind-altering drug in the form of a bio-digital microchip. According to Deadline, "TekWar is being conceptualized as a mixed-reality animated series where viewers will be able to participate with the show in different forms of technology via mobile, tablets or wearable devices. The series can be viewed stand-alone, but the level of immersion into the show, its characters and technology is enhanced by the ability to become part of the narrative."
