Heroes creator Tim Kring is getting back to his roots: producing dramas about regular people with super powers.

Deadline reports Kring is developing the drama Exp for The CW. The series will focus on "teens with powers," and will explore "what happens when a foreign designer drug - engineered to make you faster, smarter, strong and better in every way - is trafficked illegally into American high schools." Exp drama, from up-and-coming writers Zach Craley and Jarrett Conaway, will also center on "a morally and socially complex web that entangles politicians, law enforcement and teenagers looking for an edge in an ever-competitive and fast-paced world."

This is Kring’s second project at the CW, as he is also executive producing Dorothy Must Die, a twisted take on The Wizard Of Oz based on the novel of the same name by Danielle Paige.
