Werewolves Are Coming to USA Network in Brooklyn Animal Control
Another comic-to-TV adaptation is on its way as USA Network has announced a pilot pick-up for “Brooklyn Animal Control,” which revolves around a secret subdivision within the New York Police Department that services werewolves. Finally “Teen Wolf” has some competition!
The project is written and executive produced by JT Petty (Splinter Cell). David S. Goyer (Batman v Superman), Circle of Confusion’s Rick Jacobs (Spare Parts) and David Alpert (“The Walking Dead”), and IDW Entertainment’s David Ozer and Ted Adams (30 Days of Night) will also executive produce. “Brooklyn Animal Control” is based on the IDW Publishing comic book created by Petty and is a co-production with Universal Cable Productions and IDW Entertainment.
“Fans of the comic book know that Brooklyn Animal Control is a thriller anchored inside the world of New York organized crime families,” said Jackie de Crinis, Executive Vice President Original Programming. “At its core it is a family drama, albeit an unconventional one.”
“Brooklyn Animal Control” follows the inner-workings of a secret subdivision of the NYPD that functions as social services for some of the city’s most unique citizens — werewolves. Delving into the lives of both the Case Officers and the secretive, highly insular Kveld-Ulf, a community of werewolves living deep in the borough, “Brooklyn Animal Control” will examine city politics, immigrant communities, and families divided by ambition, secrecy, and tradition. Hopefully it will also include some decent man-into-wolf transformations.
Look for more soon!
