Deadline is reporting that Amazon Studios has picked up the rights to Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang’s comic book series Paper Girls and granted a series commitment to a TV adaptation.
Published by Image Comics, Paper Girls follows “four young girls who, while out delivering papers on the morning after Halloween in 1988, become unwittingly caught in a conflict between warring factions of time-travelers, sending them on an adventure through time that will save the world. As they travel between our present, the past, and the future — they encounter future versions of themselves and now must choose to embrace or reject their fate.”

Paper Girls becomes the second of Vaughn’s comic titles in development as a TV series, with FX working on an adaptation of Y: The Last Man, which recently found itself a new showrunner and is being targeted for a 2020 premiere.
