News Post: Fox Orders Eight Episodes of “Superhuman”

After airing a two-hour “Superhuman” special in January, Fox has ordered eight more episodes, with Kal Penn to return as host.

Fox has also begun online casting calls for “individuals who possess distinct, nearly super-human abilities in fields such as memory, hearing, taste, touch, smell and sight,” and potential contestants can go to fox.com/superhuman/superhuman-casting to register.

The United States is the seventh country to air a version of “Superhuman,” which began in Germany as “The Brain.”

For those interested in viewing the two-hour special, the original special SUPERHUMAN is available on FOX NOW and Fox on Demand to subscribers of participating pay-TV services.
