Warehouse 13 Writers Announced!

SCI FI Channel’s upcoming new series Warehouse 13 has filled out its staff of writers with sci-fi experts, including executive producers Jack Kenny (Book of Daniel) and David Simkins (Blade, The Dresden Files).

Other staff members include co-executive producer Dana Baratta (Runaway), supervising producer Drew Greenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Star Wars: The Clone Wars), co-producers Matt Federman and Steven Scaia (Jericho) and staff writers Bob Goodman (Batman Beyond, The New Batman/Superman Adventures), Tamara Becher (Crash) and Ben Raab and Deric Hughes (The Operator, Afterworld).

SCI FI gave a green light to production of the new original drama series and has ordered 11 hours, including a previously produced two-hour pilot.

Warehouse 13 stars Eddie McClintock (Bones), Joanne Kelly (Jeremiah) and Saul Rubinek (Frasier). After saving the life of the president, two Secret Service agents find themselves abruptly transferred to Warehouse 13, a massive top-secret storage facility in windswept South Dakota, which houses every strange artifact, mysterious relic, fantastical object and supernatural souvenir ever collected by the U.S. government. The Warehouse’s caretaker, Artie (Rubinek), charges Pete (McClintock) and Myka (Kelly) with chasing down reports of supernatural and paranormal activity in search of new objects to cache at the Warehouse, as well as helping him to control the Warehouse itself.

Production is slated to begin in February in Toronto for a July 2009 premiere.
