Channel 5's digital station 5* has secured the UK rights to air the hit US sci-fi drama Alphas.

The first-run televisions right, granted by NBCUniversal International Television Distribution, will see the show launch on the channel in October.

Alphas follows five normal individuals who, when working together, are able to attain superhuman mental and physical abilities in order to fight injustice.

"With its high octane, exhilarating action, Alphas is the perfect addition to the autumn schedule on 5*. We're thrilled to have secured this new acquisition from NBCUniversal and hope the viewers enjoy the ride," Channel 5 Head of Acquisitions Paul Fagan said in a statement.

Alphas, which airs on the SyFy network in the US, was recently renewed for a second season of 13 new episodes by the network.

The series stars David Strathairn and Ryan Cartwright and was created by Zak Penn and Michael Karnow.
