It was previously reported that the cable network had ordered a pilot episode based on the comic book by writer Brian Michael Bendis.
Responding to a fan query on Twitter, former Battlestar Galactica actress Sackhoff wrote: "[I] already met on Powers last year! I love it! I've just been waiting for a green light to go after it!"
Powers follows two homicide detectives as they investigate crimes committed by super-powered criminals.
Sackhoff is believed to be under consideration for the lead role of Deena Pilgrim, the partner to former costumed hero Christian Walker.
The Powers pilot will be scripted by Walking Dead writer Charles Eglee and helmed by Law & Order director Michael Dinner.
