Horror maestros Wes Craven (Scream) and Steve Niles (30 Days of Night) are joining forces for a TV adaptation of Black Mask’s upcoming comic book series The Disciples, which is being produced by Universal Cable Productions.
Created by Niles and Christopher Mitten (Umbral), The Disciples has been described as “True Detective in space” and is a sci-fi/horror story about a team of interstellar private eyes tracking down a girl who’s run off to join a cult on Jupiter’s moon Ganymede.”
Here’s the solicitation for The Disciples #1, which is released on May 27th…

Billionaire industrialist McCauley Richmond is one such colonist: he’s built a new society on Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, where his flock of cultists can have the religious freedom to worship him.
But when the team reaches Ganymede in their Starship Venture, they discover something has gone horribly wrong…
