Back in December 2015 it was announced that AMC had picked up the rights to author Joe Hill’s book NOS4A2, and now comes word from the cable network that is has given the show the green light with a ten-episode order.
NOS4A2 centers on “Victoria “Vic” McQueen, a young woman with an uncanny talent for finding lost things… a gift that is gradually destroying her mind. Her search for help leads her to someone with powers not unlike her own: the psychopath Charlie Manx, who has survived for a century by abducting children in his 1938 Rolls-Royce Wraith (license plate: NOS4A2), and draining his passengers of their souls to keep himself forever young. When Manx kidnaps Vic’s own son, she’ll plunge into the impossible, nightmare world that lies just beneath the surface of everyday America in a desperate attempt to get him back.”
Jami O’Brien (Hell on Wheels, Fear the Walking Dead) is set to serve as showrunner on the series, as well as executive producing alongside Hill and Lauren Corrao. The show is slated to premiere on AMC in 2019.
The news follows on from reports that Hulu has passed on Locke & Key, a pilot based upon Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez’s comic book series.
