Netflix has commissioned Baran Bo Adar and Jante Friese, acclaimed creators of Dark and 1899, to develop a TV series adaptation of BOOM! Studios’ runaway hit series SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN. The project comes through Netflix’s first-look deal with BOOM! Studios, and will be the first TV series from Adar and Friese under a newly-signed multi-year Netflix overall eight-figure deal. 

"Bo and Jante have spent the last few years making some of the best genre television in the world" said Something is Killing the Children co-creator James Tynion IV.  "I couldn't be more thrilled that they're working to bring Erica Slaughter to life."

"I cannot imagine anyone more exciting than Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese", said co-creator Werther Dell'Edera.  "Their storytelling, direction, combined with Something is Killing the Children... wow!  I can't wait to meet their version of Erica." 

Boom! Studios’ Stephen Christy and Ross Richie continue executive-producing the adaptation, with co-creators James Tynion and Werther Dell’Edera co-executive producing.
