by Cindy McLennan, October 18, 2016

Impulse TV show on YouTube Red: season 1 (canceled or renewed?). YouTube Red orders Impulse TV series.

How’s this for an impulse-buy? YouTube Red has ordered the Impulse TV show pilot, marking the subscription service’s first deal with NBC-Uni’s Universal Cable Productions. A teleportation action-thriller, Impulse is an hourlong drama based on Steven Gould’s Jumper book series.

Doug Liman will direct and executive produced with Hypnotic’s David Bartis and Gene Klein. Lost vet Jeffrey Liber is writing the pilot. Production is slated for late 2016.

Get the details on the Impulse TV series pilot, from this Universal Cable Productions press release.

YOUTUBE ORDERS SUPER-POWERED TELEPORTATION DRAMA PILOT FROM UNIVERSAL CABLE PRODUCTIONS “IMPULSE”

Hypnotic’s Doug Liman Set to Executive Produce and Direct Drama Based on Impulse, from the Jumper series by Steven Gould Deal Marks First Scripted Production Between UCP and YouTube

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – October 17, 2016 – Universal Cable Productions (UCP) and YouTube today announced a pilot order for IMPULSE, a teleportation action-thriller. This 60 minute drama marks the first deal between UCP and YouTube. Doug Liman (“Bourne Identity,” “Live. Die. Repeat:  Edge of Tomorrow”) is attached to direct and executive produce along with Hypnotic’s David Bartis and Gene Klein, who also produce UCP’s hit series “Suits.” Jeffrey Lieber (“Lost,” “NCIS: New Orleans”) is writing the pilot which is scheduled for production before the end of year.

Based on the third novel in the Jumper series by Steven Gould, IMPULSE features a rebellious 16-year-old girl who has always felt different from her peers and has longed to escape from her seemingly quaint small town. When a local drug dealer attempts to assault her, she discovers she has the extraordinary ability to teleport. This newfound power confirms her conviction that she really was different from everybody else, but it now makes her the focus of those who want to control her.

“Steven Gould’s sequel novel to Jumper, Impulse, fully realizes the dynamic potential of this amazing franchise and I’m excited to have the large canvas of YouTube to bring it to life,” said Liman.

“We are excited to be in business with an iconic director and producer like Doug Liman and an incredible writer like Jeff Lieber. They are exceptional storytellers who have the ability to draw you into the lives of unconventional yet relatable characters. We look forward to bringing this pilot to life with our partners at Universal Cable Productions.” said Susanne Daniels, Global Head of Original Content, YouTube. “Sci-fi and action adventure are huge on YouTube, and our audience will be intrigued by the show’s unexpected plot twists and turns in this studio-quality thriller.”

“‘Impulse’ is a genre bending sci-fi thriller that taps into the teenage desire to disappear when life shows its dark side,” said Dawn Olmstead, Executive Vice President, Development, Universal Cable Productions. “We are excited to be working with Doug Liman, Dave Bartis and Gene Klein at Hypnotic, and we love working with Susanne Daniels and the team at YouTube.”

IMPULSE is the latest addition to Universal Cable Productions’ digital content slate, which boasts critic and fan favorite “Difficult People” on Hulu, starring Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner; and “Harmonquest,” a comedy epic, combining live action and animation from “Community” and “Rick and Morty” creator Dan Harmon, currently on Seeso, the subscription service from NBCUniversal Digital Enterprises.

In announcing the pilot, YouTube is building off of the success of the sci-fi genre on its platform to launch more ambitious content for its creators, including first-run series, movies and specials. YouTube Red empowers creators to evolve the level of their content and collaborate with top writers, producers and directors to create exciting new Original series and films.

Look forward to it. Hope it doesn’t change from the book much as the story of Cent in Impulse and Exo is great.
