Overview
- Blumhouse will develop a live-action feature and an adult animated TV series based on the hit BOOM! Studios horror comic by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera.
- James Tynion IV will shepherd and executive-produce the animated series, with Werther Dell’Edera serving as co-executive producer.
- Jason Blum will produce the film, with Shaun Sutton and Ryan Turek as executive producers, while Stephen Christy and Tynion will produce for BOOM! Studios/Penguin Random House alongside executive producers Adam Yoelin and Mette Norkjaer and co-producer Dell’Edera.
- The rights deal followed competition that included Netflix and Lionsgate, after Netflix previously developed the property with Mike Flanagan and later Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese before passing in late 2024.
- The franchise’s appeal is reinforced by more than 5 million copies sold, multiple Eisner Awards, and a premise centered on monster hunter Erica Slaughter in a world where only children can see the creatures.
