Set in Washington, D.C., 50 years in the future, the NFL team has been renamed the Washington Red Clouds in tribute to the famed Indian chief in American history. The show will be set in Washington in the year 2065.

The executive producers stated that this was just one of the changes viewers will notice, also citing a “cooler public transportation system” and some changes to the national monuments. Precog Dash (Stark Sands, Inside Llewyn Davis) – driven by his terrifying, but fragmented visions – now has returned in secret to help a brash, but shrewd, police detective, Lara Vega (Meagan Good, Think Like a Man, “Californication”), attempt to stop the murders that he predicts.

“You’re going to fall in love with Dash’s character, because he has this sweet, little-boy innocence to him”, Good said at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con. Nick Zano, who plays Dash’s twin brother Arthur, Wilmer Valderrama, Laura Regan, Daniel London and Li Jun Li round up the cast. The pilot was written and exec produced by Max Borenstein, directed by Mark Mylod, and Amblin Entertainment, 20th Century Fox Television and Paramount Television will produce the series. The series will be aired on Fox, starting from September 21.
