Last year we passed along the news an Ice Cream Man adaptation was coming soon. Sweet. On Quibi. Shit. But it’s all good. Today, the comic’s creator W. Maxwell Prince confirms that the show is still in the works.
Prince tells CBR. “I can tell you that it definitely isn’t happening at Quibi! I’ll say that the TV show is very much still alive. We’re hoping to have more news very soon.”
Ice Cream Man is a horror-fantasy anthology series presented by its omnipresent narrator, the Ice Cream Man. Weaving a dark tapestry of tales from his truck, the Ice Cream Man serves up scoops of pain and suffering to the inhabitants of one suburb town for his own malevolent amusement. Ice Cream Man peels back the layers of the suburban American psyche with stories that are timeless yet current, relatable yet strange, terrifying and ironic, and always end with a macabre twist.

Max and Adam Reid (Todd & The Book of Pure Evil) were set to write and executive produce the Quibi version with Chris Bender, Jake Weiner, and Jake Wagner.
We’ll let you know if anything changes.
The comic’s description reads: “Chocolate, vanilla, existential horror, addiction, musical fantasy…there’s a flavor for everyone’s misery. ICE CREAM MAN is a genre-defying comic book series, featuring disparate “one-shot” tales of sorrow, wonder, and redemption. Each installment features its own cast of strange characters, dealing with their own special sundae of suffering. And on the periphery of all of them, like the twinkly music of his colorful truck, is the Ice Cream Man—a weaver of stories, a purveyor of sweet treats. Friend. Foe. God. Demon. The man who, with a snap of his fingers—lickety-split!—can change the course of your life forever.”
The comic has no relation to the cult classic Clint Howard flick.
