While we’re going to have to wait a bit longer for Edgar Wright‘s Last Night in Soho to get a theatrical release, the Shaun of the Dead director is teaming up with Attack the Block filmmaker Joe Cornish on a handful of new series for Netflix!
Variety reports the duo has teamed with Baby Driver producer Nira Park and producer Rachael Prior to launch the new production company Complete Fiction, with the first project being “Lockwood & Co”, a supernatural action-adventure detective series, based on the novels by Jonathan Stroud. The series will be helmed and executive produced by Cornish.
Also with Netflix, the company has optioned the sci-fi horror trilogy “The Murders of Molly Southbourne” from novelist Tade Thompson, and the historical fantasy series inspired by Islamic folklore, “The City of Brass (The Daevabad Trilogy)”, from author S.A. Chakraborty.
Complete Fiction, which is independent, has a development deal with Netflix for the aforementioned projects plus one other that is still under wraps. The business also has a number of ongoing feature developments with long-term producing partners Working Title.
Complete Fiction is currently in post-production on Edgar Wright’s latest feature film, Last Night In Soho, which they produced with Working Title for Focus Features and Film4.
