Syfy developing TV adaptation of Boom! Studios’ The Woods

December 6, 2016 by Gary Collinson

Deadline is reporting that Syfy is developing an hourlong drama based upon James Tynion IV and Michael Dialynas’ Boom! Studios comic book series The Woods, which has Brad Peyton (San Andreas) set to produce and direct from a script by Michael Armbruster (Beautiful Boy).

“We’ve always seen this title as having the potential to be a stand-out sci-fi property, and there’s no better team to do that with than with Boom! and the teams at UCP/Syfy,” said Peyton and and his producing partner Jeff Fierson.

Planned for a 36-issue run, The Woods “is set in Wisconsin where an entire high school campus — including the 300 students, teachers, parents and workers who happened to be there at the time – vanishes without a trace and reappears in the middle of the thick woods on the moon of a distant planet. Now their normal lives have suddenly and dramatically changed as they must survive the eerie and dangerous environment while desperately trying to find a way to get back home.”

The Woods marks the second team-up between Boom! and Peyton, who is also attached to direct an adaptation of James Wan’s Malignant Man.

Originally published December 6, 2016. Updated April 15, 2018.
