If you didn't get a chance to stop by Syfy's massive Incorporated-inspired diner at this year's San Diego Comic Con, then you might not know that the cable channel has picked up another original drama with some serious cinematic pedigree behind it.
Incorporated, a drama from Spanish writer/directors Alex and David Pastor (Carriers) with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon attached as executive producers, tells the story of a near-future where corporations have unlimited power. So not so different from our present then...
We've got a brand new trailer for the science fiction show, and it reveals more of the plot than ever before. This show not only has a cool concept, but it looks great, if this trailer is anything to go by. It's also giving us some Gattaca vibes in the beginning of this promo, which is always a good thing...

Incorporated Syfy Plot Synopsis
Protagonist Ben Larson (played by Reign's Sean Teale) will be the relatable dude who brings us into this world. Larson is forced to go undercover in the dangerous corporate world in order to save the woman he loves. And guys? The stakes are very high — like life-threatening.
The show also boasts Dennis Haybert (24), David Hewlett (Stargate: SG-1), Ian Tracey (Continuum), Georgina Haig (Once Upon a Time), Eddie Ramos (Teen Wolf) and Julia Ormond (Mad Men) amongst its cast, and will take as its central theme the troubling connection between government and private and/or corporate interests.
"Incorporated is an electrifying example of what science fiction does best: holding a mirror to present realities and projecting forward to a recognizable future in which we face the impact and consequences of our actions," said Syfy president Dave Howe.
Damon and Affleck said of the project: "Incorporated provides us distinct insight into a world dictated by our decisions today. Viewers will delve into the intricacies of our future, one that we are constantly warned of, but as a society have not yet explored."
