Created by James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera, the Boom! Studios comic Something is Killing the Children is planning a trip to the small screen, with Mike Flanagan on board!
THR reports tonight that Flanagan and “The Haunting of Hill House”/Doctor Sleep partner Trevor Macy are co-writing and executive producing a pilot for a potential television series.
THR details, “The project is in early development but should it move forward, Macy, the producer opposite Flanagan, the director, would serve as showrunner, a first for the duo. It is unclear at this stage if Flanagan would direct episodes.”
In Something is Killing the Children… “When the children of Archer’s Peak begin to go missing, everything seems hopeless. Most children never return, but the ones that do have terrible stories—impossible stories of terrifying creatures that live in the shadows. Their only hope of finding and eliminating the threat is the arrival of a mysterious stranger, one who believes the children and claims to see what they can see. Her name is Erica Slaughter. She kills monsters. That is all she does, and she bears the cost because it MUST be done.”
The popular series debuted in June 2019, nominated for an Eisner for Best New Series in 2020.
