ABC has ordered a TV show pilot presentation for Spark. A soapy steampunk story, Spark is written by British playwright, Michael Cooney, who will executive produce with Ian Sander and Kim Moses. Ghost Whisperer veterans, Sander and Moses, executive produced Reckless, which was cancelled by CBS after one season of 13 episodes.

Per Deadline, Spark was previously titled Power. Starz already has a Power TV series, starring Omari Hardwick, Lela Loren, Naturi Naughton, and Joseph Siko.

Variety says:

“Spark,” written and executive produced by Michael Cooney, hails from ABC Studios. Set in an alternate history where gas and coal fuel the world, this genre soap centers on the battle for power between two rival families and a rebellious young woman with a spark of invention that could level both their empires..
