Vanessa Hudgens Lands Role in NBC Pilot, Powerless

Vanessa Hudgens has landed a new role. The Gimme Shelter actress will star in NBC’s new comedy pilot Powerless.

The show will focus on normal people living in a world with superheroes and villains. The show will take place in the DC Universe and Vanessa will play Emily Locke, an “insurance claims adjuster who loves her job because she gets to help people. Emily likes to fly under the radar and just get her work done. She finds herself increasingly exasperated by the disruptive antics of the various superheroes that proliferate in her city.”

Production on the pilot will begin within the next couple of weeks and if all goes well it will be given the go by NBC. If given the go it will air during the 2016-2017 TV season and, probably, will be a show showcased at San Diego Comic Con.
