Powerless is a new half-hour sitcom series styled after The Office that takes place in the DC universe. The show follows insurance agent Emily Locke, specializing in representing bystanders caught up as collateral in superhero battles, who finds herself celebrated as a hero when she stands up to hero Crimson Fox after their most recent battle messes with Emily's commute. Vanessa Hudgens (High School Musical, Grease Live) stars as Emily Locke, with Danny Pudi (Community) as her prankster best friend Teddy, Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Wreck-It Ralph) as her narcissist boss Del, and Christina Kirk (A to Z) as Jackie, superhero fangirl and Del's newest put-upon assistant. The series is set to premiere as part of NBC's fall 2016 lineup.
