Two-time Emmy winner Ken Estin, showrunner of “Taxi” and “Cheers,” is steering “Psychic Predators,” a paranormal dramatic comedy starring mentalist Banachek as himself.

Organic Media Group (OMG) unveiled the series at Taiwan Creative Content Fest (TCCF) in Taipei, and it is also heading to the American Film Market.

Estin, whose resume also takes in “The Tracey Ullman Show,” will run the series alongside Steve Chicorel, who created the show and is executive producing it. Estin signed on after reading Chicorel’s pilot, “The Voice of God,” and will oversee the writing of the rest of the season if the series is commissioned.
