IDW Entertainment and IM Global Television have announced that they are partnering up to co-develop and co-produce LD50, a new action drama from writer and executive producer Scott Dacko. The project will incorporate a TV series, along with a series of comic books.
LD50 is described as “an expansive, thought-provoking character-drama set in a world in which a virus has decimated the male population and created a tenuous balance between a small pocket of healthy people and the infected women who surround them.”
“Given our similarities in taste and the complementary nature of our businesses, David Ozer and I have been looking for something to work on together for a while,” said IM Global Television President Mark Stern. “I couldn’t be happier to partner with them on LD50. Hopefully, it will be the first of many more to come!”
“We are thrilled to be in business with IM Global,” said IDW Entertainment President David Ozer. “Their continued aggressive growth into the television business coupled with great creative on LD50 made this a very easy decision.”
“IM Global and IDW both have business models that complement each other well,” adds IDW Publishing CEO and Publisher Ted Adams. “Scott Dacko has created an incredible world in LD50 that will make for a fantastic comic and television series.”
