Fox TV to adapt Enormous into an event series

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

After the groundbreaking live-action short web film from Machinima, Tim Daniel and Mehdi Cheggour’s ENORMOUS is heading to the small screen with 20th Century Fox Television and New Regency Television, who are teaming up with Prime Universe Films to develop an event series based on the action-horror comic book from publisher 215 Ink, reports Deadline.

Set in the near future, the comic book series finds the world suffering a planetary resource crisis when a vast ecological cataclysm spawns The Enormous, massive beasts unlike anything ever witnessed.

Displaced from atop the food chain, humankind struggles to stave off extinction, and a shattered society scrambles for refuge in the wake of the monstrous rampage. Ellen Grace, a former school teacher who lost everything in the uprising, leads a search and rescue team into the ruins of the city in hopes of locating children orphaned by the cataclysm. But not all the remaining humans seek salvation, and in a world dominated by monsters, man is still the most dangerous animal.

TV and Prime Universe’s Adrian Askarieh will serve as executive producers for the series. The search is on for a showrunner.
