As if working on The Walking Dead and developing his latest series Thief of Thieves for AMC wasn’t enough, Robert Kirkman is laying the groundwork for a third TV drama.
FOX International Channels (FIC), Kirkmans Skybound imprint at Image Comics, and Circle of Confusion are developing a script based on Kirkmans upcoming comic book series set in the world of exorcism.
Told through the Kirkman prism, the series follows a young man, Kyle Barnes, who has been plagued by possession since he was a child. Now an adult, he embarks on a spiritual journey to find answers but what he uncovers could mean the end of life on Earth as we know it.
Kirkman will serve as executive producer alongside The Walking Dead executive producer David Alpert of Circle of Confusion.
Kirkman said, Sharon Tal Yguado and the entire team at FOX International Channels have been instrumental in making The Walking Dead the worldwide success that it has become. I couldnt resist the opportunity to continue working with this forward-thinking and extremely talented group.
Exorcism has captivated movie audiences all over the world but has never been explored on television, said Sharon Tal Yguado, EVP Global Scripted Programming and Original Development at FIC. Robert Kirkman, who forever changed the scope of Cable TV with The Walking Dead, possesses an unparalleled talent of telling big concept stories in a smart and incredibly genuine way. We couldnt be more excited to be working with him on this project, which we see as a reinvention of the genre.
