First up is a small-screen adaptation of Craven’s 1991 movie The People Under the Stairs, the story of the “centuries-old horrors” discovered at the Robeson Family Manor following the disappearance of a young woman. Craven will executive-produce the pilot, which is being described as a cross between Downton Abbey and The Amityville Horror.
Also being developed at Syfy is We Are All Completely Fine, based on Daryl Gregory’s book of the same name, in which a mysterious psychologist draws out twisted evils from her patients’ pasts. In addition to executive-producing the project, Craven is also on board to write and direct the pilot.
A third series, Disciples, is also receiving the Craven touch. Based on the graphic novel by Steve Niles, who will executive-produce with Craven, the futuristic drama explores what might happen if the world’s wealthiest people begin to colonize the moons of our solar system. (Spoiler alert: It involves a cult.)

By Craven do they mean Wes Craven? Cos I love his stuff. Not sure about the titles or if I'll like the shows but I'll definitely check them out. Wes Craven is more than enough for me to try them anyway.
ReplyDeleteOn paper only Disciples speaks to me, People Under The Stairs doesn't sound like my thing at all and We Are All Completely Fine sounds like a Hannibal rip-off, but that could change with the right cast and aesthetic and/or if these things lean into science fiction more than horror....
ReplyDeleteI liked People Under the Stairs. I always thought alot more could have been done with the story. It was alot of fun. I'd like to see what they do with it.
ReplyDeleteI know, right!
ReplyDeleteWell that was an acquisition wasn't it? I don't think it's theirs, financially speaking.
ReplyDeleteThese sound... interesting...?
ReplyDeleteI mean there's elements that could work, but I dunno. It's too early to tell...
