The sci fi project was first developed for the BBC

After traveling to the past with "The Tudors," Showtime is looking to the future for new programming.

Showtime is developing the sci fi drama "Syns" with "Supernatural" supervising producer/writer Sera Gamble and "Jericho" consulting producer John McNamara, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"Syns," formerly known as "Dolls' Hospital," is set in a world where the Syns, humanlike synthetic beings much like the replicants in "Blade Runner," are used for various purposes.

The project was originally developed by Stephen Volk for the BBC, but Showtime bought the U.S. rights to the project.

Gamble, who is writing the script, will team up with McNamara as co-creator/executive producers.
