FREEFORM DEVELOPING DRAMA SERIES "AUGS" FROM ANONYMOUS CONTENT AND SCOTT STEWART

The network is developing the hour-long drama "Augs," created and directed by Scott Stewart (Blumhouse's "Dark Skies"). The series is set in the all-to-near future when society is divided into two classes: Augs, the privileged who can afford the latest technological-biological enhancements that provide an always-connected augmented reality view of the world; and Norms, the disenfranchised rest who've become a nearly invisible underclass. Set in the moneyed, suburban enclave of Cambio Point, "Augs" follows Gennifer Wells, an ambitious and popular Aug girl, who falls in love with Bodhi Bright, the mysterious new guy in town. The only problem is he's a Norm, and this causes her friends and family to turn against her. As she realizes being enhanced isn't all it's cracked up to be, Gennifer is forced to make a choice between the privileged augmented world she knows and the strange boy she loves, who prefers to see things through his "unenhanced" eyes. But her choice will not be easy, as forces on both sides conspire to keep them apart. Stewart and Anonymous Content's Jeff Okin will produce.
