From the minds of writer Mark Millar and illustrator Olivier Coipel, The Magic Order became Netflix’s very first comic book series last year, and it’s now getting a TV series!
Deadline reports that James Wan and Lindsey Beer (Chaos Walking, Sierra Burgess is a Loser) are executive producing the adaptation, with Wan on board to direct the first episode.
Beer will serve as writer/showrunner.
In “The Magic Order”:
“Five families of magicians sworn to protect our world must battle an enemy who’s picking them off one by one. By day they live among us as our neighbors, friends and co-workers, but by night they are the sorcerers, magicians and wizards that protect us from the forces of darkness — unless the darkness gets them first.”
Wan will executive produce through his Atomic Monster production company. Michael Clear will also executive produce with Rob Hackett as co-executive producer.
