Based on the Image Comics graphic novel, the adaptation was created by Rick Remender — who created the comic series series alongside illustrator Wes Craig — and Miles Orion Feldsott (American Koko).
Deadly Class is set in a dark, comic book world against the backdrop of the late ’80s counterculture. The story follows a homeless teen that is recruited into a storied elite private school where the world’s top crime families send their next generations. Maintaining his moral code while surviving a ruthless curriculum, vicious social cliques, and his own adolescent uncertainties soon prove to be vital. The drama is described as “a coming of age journey full of ancient mystery and teen angst.
