Horror-Comedy Comic 'The Revenants' Gets TV Series Deal
Imagine two brothers in Northern Ireland who own a comic book shop.
They're not just selling comics; they're living in one!
Their city is full of zombies, and they have to fight them off using whatever they can find in their shop.
Someone is turning this comic book into a TV show.
The company making the show wants to keep the same humor, horror, and feel of the original comic.
They're also making it sound like it will be a funny show, rooted in the location where the comic book is set.
The horror-comedy comic 'The Revenants' has been optioned for TV adaptation.
Paula Crickard's Atelier 11 is developing the series with the comic's creators.
The series will have a Northern Irish tone, capturing the comic's humor and horror.
The comic, created by Daniel Flanagan in 2015, is about brothers fighting zombies.
Atelier 11, supported by the UK Global Screen Fund, focuses on emerging IPs for franchises.
