Heroes creator Tim Kring and 24 star Kiefer Sutherland are collaborating on a new genre-esque series that has just gotten the green light for production from Fox, Touch.

Touch, which has a 12-episode commitment, stars Emmy and Golden Globe winner Kiefer Sutherland and will join the schedule in the spring of 2012. The pilot was directed and executive-produced by Francis Lawrence (Water for Elephants), and the show comes from Chernin Entertainment and Tailwind Productions.
