Syfy will partner with entertainer/producer Nick Cannon on a new science fiction-based improv series.

The as yet titled one-hour series will feature two teams battling in an improv competition to win points and prizes. The show will feature nationally known comedians competing against  as yet chosen teams in various sci-fi/fantasy related sketches.

Cannon and Michael Goldman will executively produce the series, which will be developed by Cannon’s NCredible Entertainment.

The series adds to Cannon’s list of cable shows, including MTV2’s Wild N’ Out and the upcoming VH1 tele-movie sequel to the 2002 film Drumline.
