We learned earlier this month that Syfy had cancelled “Deadly Class” after just one season, which wrapped up back in March. At the time, we heard that Sony Pictures TV was going to shop the series around to see if it could find new life at a new network, but sadly, comic book/series creator Rick Remender has just hammered the final nail into that coffin.
Remender tweeted this week, “Deadly Class will not be moving to a new network. Which is sort of perfect when you think about it. If you want to see what happens after the 1st season you’ll have to buy the comics, which are pretty keen. Thank you to our fans for the huge support. You helped soothe the sting.”
So if you dug the series, be sure to continue supporting “Deadly Class” at your comic shop!
“Set in a dark, comic book world against the backdrop of late 80s counter culture, DEADLY CLASS follows a homeless teen 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 proves to be vital. Based on the best-selling 2014 Image Comics graphic novel, DEADLY CLASS is a coming of age journey full of ancient mystery and teen angst.”
Cast includes Benedict Wong (“Doctor Strange,” “Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams”), Benjamin Wadsworth (“Teen Wolf”), Lana Condor (“X-Men: Apocalypse,” “Alita: Battle Angel”), Maria Gabriela de Faria (“Yo Soy Franky,” “Sitiados”), Luke Tennie (“Shock and Awe”), Liam James(“The Way Way Back,” “The Killing”) and Michel Duval (“Queen of the South”).
From Sony Pictures Television and Universal Cable Productions, “Deadly Class” was adapted for television by Rick Remender and Miles Orion Feldsott, who served as executive producers alongside Joe Russo (“Avengers: Infinity War,” “Captain America: Civil War”), Anthony Russo (“Avengers: Infinity War,” “Captain America: Civil War”) and Mike Larocca (“Spy”). Adam Targum (“Banshee”) from Chipmunk Hill also served as executive producer on the pilot, along with Lee Toland Krieger (“The Age of Adaline”), who also directed.
