Overview
- Blumhouse will develop the franchise in two formats at once: a live-action feature and an adult animated television series, with James Tynion IV guiding the series.
- Jason Blum will produce the feature, with Shaun Sutton and Ryan Turek as executive producers; Stephen Christy and Tynion will produce for BOOM! Studios/Penguin Random House, and Adam Yoelin and Mette Norkjaer are executive producers, while co-creator Werther Dell’Edera is a co-producer.
- Tynion will executive produce the animated series, with Dell’Edera as co-executive producer; Christy will executive produce for BOOM!, with Yoelin and Norkjaer serving as co-executive producers.
- The rights move follows reported multi-company bidding that included Lionsgate and Netflix, which previously developed the project before passing in late 2024.
- The Eisner-winning comic has sold more than 5 million copies and spawned spinoffs, and no release dates or additional creative hires beyond producers have been announced; the story centers on Erica Slaughter in a world where only children can see the monsters.
