‘Sinister’ Duo Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill Sign First-Look TV Deal With Blumhouse
While we wait for their new horror movie Black Phone, we’ve learned via Deadline today that Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill (Sinister, Doctor Strange) have inked a first-look television deal with Blumhouse. “Under the new two-year pact, the recently formed production company (Crooked Highway Productions) will develop projects for Blumhouse TV.”
Sherryl Clark (Cloverfield) has been set as President of Production at Crooked Highway.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Scott, Cargill, and Sherryl into the Blumhouse family, to work with us in television,” said Jason Blum. We have had a lot of success collaborating in film, and they’ve brought some great material in to develop that we can’t wait to get in front of fans.”
Deadline details, “Crooked Highway has several television projects in development with Blumhouse, including Full Body Burden, inspired by Kristen Iversen’s book, which tells the true story of a deadly government secret hidden in plain sight: the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant just outside of Denver, CO. Also in the works is Midnight Radio, in which an off-the-grid radio host begins to piece together the connections between various supernatural experiences described by his callers; and The Devil’s Detective based on Simon Kurt Unsworth’s novel. It tells the story of a human investigator who navigates the intricate bureaucracies of Hell to solve high-profile murder cases amid a populace of angels, demons, and the damned.”
The Ghostbusters franchise returns to the world of animation with brand new Netflix series “Ghostbusters: Night Shift,” and the official logo has been revealed this weekend.
Expect “Ghostbusters: Night Shift” to clock in on Netflix in 2027!
Netflix previews, “Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.
“The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.”
The upcoming animated series from Netflix will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Frozen Empire.
“This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated,” Netflix reminds in their press release today. “The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.”
