It’s been a bumpy road getting the BOOM! Comic Something is Killing the Children adapted in some fashion. At one point, it seemed like Netflix was going to be moving forward with Mike Flanagan’s production company in what looked like a completely sensible direction. It wasn’t meant to be, however, as Flanagan jumped ship to Amazon Prime Video, where he’s finishing up his adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie.
Thanks to an article published on SYFY, we finally have an update on the future adaptations of James Tynion IV’s horror comic that has won multiple Eisner Awards in a row. The plan is to release a live-action film and an animated series. This will be the first time Blumhouse has stepped into the realm of adult animation, as the company branches out to publish video games as well.
CEO Jason Blum explained that the comic “taps into our most primal fears, luring us into a fascinating world and introducing Erica Slaughter, the ass-kicking hero we all wish we had to fight the monsters that lurk in the dark.”
The creative writer of the comic, Tynion IV, added, “The comic book changed my life and career forever. Finding a partner who understood the potential of Erica Slaughter and the world Werther Dell’Edera and I have built was crucial, and we found that partner in Jason Blum. Nobody understands horror better than Blumhouse, and I can’t wait for the world to see what we all have planned together.”
Tynion IV will be serving as executive producer on the adult-oriented animated series. As for what network or service the content will be available on, it has yet to be determined. As soon as we find out, we’ll be sure to let you know!
