Announced today, Netflix is bringing Hamish Steele‘s horror-comedy graphic novels “DeadEndia” to the small screen, adapting the tales in the form of a 2D animated series.
Steele will serve as showrunner of the upcoming series.
“The animated series follows four friends as they balance jobs at an amusement park’s haunted house while battling the totally real supernatural forces that dwell within it.”
The series from Blink Industries will feature the voice talents of Zach Barack as Barney, Kody Kavitha as Norma, Emily Osment as Courtney, Alex Brightman as Pugsley, Miss Coco Peru as Pauline Phoenix, Kenny Tran as Logs, and Kathreen Khavari as Badyah.
“DeadEndia is about terrifying demons, vengeful ghosts and mysterious magic. It is also about coming of age in a world that wasn’t made for you. It’s a drama about found family, identity and making mistakes,” Steele said in a statement. “I’ve always dreamed of making the show I needed as a lonely, horror-obsessed closeted gay kid and thanks to Netflix and our ridiculously talented, diverse and representative writers room and crew, we have shot way past my dreams and into wildest fantasy territory!”
Expect “DeadEndia” to land on Netflix sometime in 2021.
