It’s official! One of the biggest horror comics of the last few years is getting another step closer to finally coming to the big screen!
During Blumhouse’s panel at New York City Comic Con, we learned that Craig Zobel, whose previous work includes American Gods, Westworld, and most recently, a few episodes of The Penguin for DC, will be directing the live-action adaptation of James Tynion IV and Werther Dell’Edera‘s critically acclaimed and award-winning comic series, Something Is Killing the Children.

This comes after the announcement last year of this adaptation, as well as an animated TV series that is being created alongside it.
Now with Zobel being brought on as director, fans are eagerly anticipating the news of potential casting, a production schedule, or even a release date. Only time will tell.
