EXCLUSIVE: Three of the gang behind Severance have teamed up on a new sci-fi series for Hulu.
Adam Scott, who stars as Mark Scout in the Apple series, and writers Ezra Claytan Daniels and Eli Jorné are developing a series based on graphic novel Shifter for the Disney-owned streamer.
Shifter is based on the Hachette graphic novel from Koren Shadmi, who is a consulting producer on the project.
It is set in the near-future, where a banned cosmetic procedure lets people change their faces on the fly, creating a new underground industry of Shifters, who can become anyone you want, for any purpose you can imagine, for a fee. Rose is making a name for herself as one of the best, but the more she gives to her gigs, the more she risks losing herself.
It will be written by Ezra Claytan Daniels and Eli Jorné. Jorné is an exec producer on the third season of Severance and was previously under an overall deal with AMC Studios, where he created and served as showrunner on the first two seasons of The Walking Dead: Dead City.
Daniels is a writer on the third season of Severance and is writing the screenplay for the remake of Wes Craven’s The People Under the Stairs for Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions. He is also the creator of a number of graphic novels including Upgrade Soul and Mama Came Callin’.
The pair will exec produce alongside Great Scott Productions’ Adam Scott, Naomi Scott and Kevin Cotter. Great Scott Productions is behind The Saviors, directed by Kevin Hamedani, which premiered at SXSW earlier this year, Other People, The Overnight and Fun Mom Dinner.
This comes as season three of the Lumon Industries-set series is set to start production on season three this summer.
Daniels is repped by Paradigm and Aperture Entertainment. Jorné is repped by UTA and Hansen Jacobson. Great Scott is repped by UTA.
