Netflix Re-Ups Overall Deal With ‘Dark’ Creators, Duo Board James Tynion Comic Series ‘Something Is Killing The Children’ With Boom! Studios

EXCLUSIVE: Five years after Netflix inked their first ever European overall series deal with Dark creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, the studio has re-upped with the duo in a splashy eight-figure pact, we can reveal.

The German writer-creators, who most recently made big-budget mystery drama 1899 for the streamer, are now turning their attention to comic book adaptation Something Is Killing The Children, on which they join Boom! Studios! which also has a deal with Netflix.

With echoes of Dark, Something Is Killing The Children is ripe material for Friese and partner Bo Odar. The series alights on a small town plagued by monsters that eat children and reveals a mysterious young woman who has the special powers to combat the creatures.

Wow, I honestly can't think of a better duo to help adapt the series.

Hell yeah... and this comic rules.

I recall reading that Mike Flanagan was looking to adapt this, but I guess it makes sense for this to change hands since he moved his deal to Amazon.

Don't know anything about it, but Dark was good.
