Comic Book Drawings Turn to Death in “Safehaven” Series
Reminiscent of the classic “Tales from the Crypt” story, comic book art turns to death in “Safehaven”, a supernatural horror series from Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment’s Landmark Studio Group and Orwo Studios (Twilight), reports Deadline.
Belle Shouse, pictured below in “Queen America”, stars in the film that also features “True Blood” alum Stephen Moyer and Antonio Cipriano.
“‘Safehaven’ follows Jenna Frost (Shouse), a fierce, complicated high school comic book artist who must fight to uncover hidden truths after horrifying visions from her drawings come to life, threatening everyone around her. Moyer plays John Rayburn, the mysterious new school counselor determined to save her, even if it endangers both of their lives and unearths his own personal demons. Complicating matters is Will (Cipriano), a passionate young man committed to protecting Jenna, who finds herself torn between rejecting his help and her growing feelings for him.”
Created by James Seale (30 Below) and directed by Brad Turner (“Homeland”), who also serve as showrunners, the ten-episode “Safehaven” is slated to begin production in January 2021 in Louisiana. Landmark will market the series, which will be distributed by Screen Media Ventures.
The spirit world collides with ours, unleashing supernatural threats in the official trailer for Netflix’s supernatural series “The East Palace”.
The new series premieres on July 17, 2026.
“The East Palace” hails from director Choi Jung-kyu (The Devil Judge) and writers Kwon So-ra and Seo Jea-won (Son: The Guest). Production companies for the film include Showrunners and Imaginus.
Nam Joo-hyuk, Roh Yoon-seo, and Cho Seung-woo star.
The official synopsis reads: “When the crown prince is found dead in a pond, a chilling rumor paralyzes the palace: the pond spirit has returned to wipe out the King’s bloodline. The King (Cho Seung-woo) fiercely dismisses the killings as mere conspiracy, until his last remaining son, Prince Yeongan, collapses.
“Driven to desperation, the King secretly summons Gu-cheon (Nam Joo-hyuk), who can traverse the Realm of Gwi and defeat them. To ensure his loyalty, the King pairs him with Saeng-gang (Roh Yoon-seo), a court lady born with the ability to hear spirits.
“Gu-cheon embarks on the life-or-death mission to destroy the spirit and lift the curse of the East Palace, or die within its walls. But as Gu-cheon hunts the spirit and Saeng-gang secretly spies on his every move, the two draw closer to the dark truth of the East Palace that lies beneath the pond.“
