The second reboot of the popular British sci-fi drama from TheSeventies, this version debuted on TheCW in October 2013.
Stephen Jameson thinks he's mentally ill - he sleepwalks, he hears voices that shouldn't be there, the works. As it happens, he's really part of a genetically enhanced new species, and they're being hunted by {{Muggle|s}} who fear them and their psychic powers. So what's a poor young Tomorrow Person to do? He joins Ultra, the very team that's hunting his kind, as the inside man for a small underground movement of renegade young Tomorrow People forced to live on the fringes as society has rejected them.
!!The 2013 reboot provides examples of:

* BattleCouple: Cara and John. They spar particularly well with each other.

* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** Jedikiah's is a truly horrifying example of KickTheDog. [[spoiler:He tells a turncoat Homo Superior YouHaveFailedMe, ''admits'' he's going to kill him, gives the HS a gun to ''attempt'' to kill the sociopathic sap first, smirks as the [[RestrainingBolt shutdown engages]], then nonchalantly takes the gun back and shoots the HS in the back of the head.]]
