\n\tNetflix<\/a> is entering a Black Hole<\/a> with its latest series project.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe streamer outbid other outlets for a series based on Charles Burns\u2019 Black Hole comics, with I Saw the TV Glow writer-director Jane Schoenbrun<\/a> set to adapt the story and direct. Neflix has given a straight-to-series order to the project, which will be Schoenbrun\u2019s first TV series.<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix bought the project from New Regency, which owns the rights to Black Hole. New Regency and Netflix are the studios for the show.<\/p>\n

\n\tPublished in 12 issues between 1995 and 2005 and collected as a graphic novel upon its completion, Black Hole centers on a group of teenagers who contract a sexually transmitted disease that causes physical mutations. Here\u2019s now Netflix describes the series: \u201cThere\u2019s an old myth that haunts the seemingly perfect small town of Roosevelt: If you have sex too young, you\u2019ll contract the \u2018bug,\u2019 a virus that literally turns you into a \u2018monster\u2019 from your worst nightmares. Absurd, right? That\u2019s what Chris always assumed, until, after one reckless night at the beginning of senior year, she finds herself infected. Now she\u2019ll be cast out to the woods to live with the other infected, where a chilling, new threat emerges: a serial killer who\u2019s hunting them one by one.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBlack Hole has gone through a number of stops and starts as a feature film adaptation before the series landed at Netflix. Alexandre Aja and David Fincher were at various points attached to direct movies based on the source material. New Regency acquired rights to the comics in 2018 and developed a film with director Rick Famuyiwa<\/a> and Plan B (which is executive producing the series). But like the previous efforts, that ended up not happening.<\/p>\n

\n\tSchoenbrun is the creator, writer and director of Black Hole. The executive producers are Plan B; Erin Levy; New Regency\u2019s Yariv Milchan, Arnon Milchan, Natalie Lehmann and Laura Delahaye; and Burns. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to I Saw the TV Glow \u2014\u00a0which was nominated for six Independent Spirit Awards \u2014 Schoenbrun wrote and directed We\u2019re All Going to the World\u2019s Fair and directed the documentary A Self-Induced Hallucination. Their next feature, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma<\/a> starring Hannah Einbinder and Gillian Anderson, is in post-production. Schoenbrun is repped by CAA, Entertainment 360 and Jackoway Austen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix is entering a Black Hole with its latest series project.
