With the big screen sequel underway, The Butterfly Effect is taking on series form at SCI FI Channel, reports Variety.

The cable channel has teamed with feature executive producers Anthony Rhulen, AJ Dix, Chris Bender and JC Spink on a series pilot based on the 2004 Ashton Kutcher starrer. NBC Universal TV Studio will produce.

The Butterfly Effect revolves around a man who discovers he has the ability to go back and forth in time to change the future of himself and others -- for better or worse.

SCI FI programming executive VP Mark Stern said he's been in the market for a "smart but accessible time travel series" for some time. " 'Butterfly Effect' really fits that bill."

The series, targeted for next year, would continue the story of Kutcher's character, Evan, who in the movie attempts to improve the present by trying to mend past events.

I don't know if this will work well. I have a feeling it will be a sliders but without the cool first seasons

That's a good comparison Trine & I don't know how well it will work either if they are using Kutcher's Character instead of making a new character just for the TV Series.

Like since they are using all new characters for "The Butterfly Effect 2" it might do well if they stay true to everything that was already established in the first movie. Kinda like what they are doing with "Final Destination" Trilogy.

Same here, but nobody will know for sure until after the 3rd one is released.

They are starting all the promoting for the 3rd one on Friday the 13th.
