Sony PlayStation's "Powers" is over after two seasons.

Shot in Atlanta, the superhero drama was inspired by the graphic novels of the same name. "Powers" followed two homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, assigned to investigate cases involving people with extraordinary abilities dubbed“Powers.” Season two continued to follow the detectives and the Powers Division team as they faced commercialized, superhumans who impose their power on the public, which worship and fear them.

The show's creator broke the news on Twitter today:

XBox One also shot a series in Atlanta called "Quantum Break" which was more like a blend of live action and game play. It debuted in April.
