NEW YORK, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Syfy says it has greenlit the series Incorporated, a futuristic thriller from Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Todd's Pearl Street Films.

"Set in a near future where corporations have unlimited power, Incorporated centers around Ben Larson, a young executive who conceals his true identity to infiltrate a very dangerous corporate world to save the woman he loves. But he'll soon learn that he's not the only one whose secrets may have deadly consequences," a press release said.

The show will star Sean Teale, Eddie Ramos, Dennis Haysbert and Julia Ormond.

"The most powerful science fiction holds up a mirror to our world," Dave Howe, president of Syfy and Chiller, said in a statement Wednesday. "Incorporated is exactly that type of smart, provocative series, delivering a fresh, edge-of-your-seat thriller that challenges notions of the world we live in today. We look forward to working with the stellar teams at Pearl Street Films, CBS Television Studios and Universal Cable Productions to bring it to life for Syfy viewers this year."
