Director Kevin Smith is set to develop Sam & Twitch, a police procedural in Todd McFarlane’s Spawn comics world. The show will be made for BBC America. BBC America president Sarah Barnett stated,
“[Smith] is attached to write, direct and executive producer a series based on the Sam And Twitch comic book series for us, “They were originally introduced in Spawn, and it’s Todd McFarlane’s comic book series about these big-city homicide detectives who face a series of super grisly crimes that are connected to the occult. It’s kind of frightening and sort of gallows humor. It’s, again, procedural, but in a very modern, contemporary way. So each episode is closed ended, although there are certain character-serialized aspects to the storytelling.”
