FremantleMedia North America is producing two new series that have definitely pinged on the SciFi Mafia radar. First, they’re rebooting the 1992 sci-fi movie Universal Soldier as a TV series. Even better, it’s being written by Damian Kindler (Stargate, Sanctuary).

Second, they’ve hired the creator and executive producer of National Treasure and National Treasure: Book of Secrets to create a TV drama series about two brothers who solve crimes and investigate some of the world’s greatest mysteries. The working title is Blood & Treasure.

Given that Rob Wright (Law & Order) wrote the series bible and the first episode, we’re looking forward to seeing how the puzzles and the solving play out, and are hoping that the longevity karma from his previous gig will carry over.

We’ll keep you posted on both.
