No, we didn’t introduce unnecessary spaces into that headline. Anthony Daniel’s proposed television series “U N H O L Y” is stylized with those spaces, which, obviously, leaves plenty of room for the Holy Ghost. All kidding aside, Daniels and company reportedly pitched the idea to a handful of television executives, and a few networks have a keen interest in bringing this story to life.
Here’s the setup: In the not-too-distant future, the Devil has assumed control of most of the planet — 99% to be exact. Not surprisingly, the remaining 1% isn’t too thrilled about this demonic scenario, and they’re planning to do something about it. Their mission: dethrone the Devil and return peace and tranquility to the Earth. Of course, this is easier said than done.
Instead of simply pulling plot points out of thin air, Daniel and company delved into the Bible to piece together the story for “U N H O L Y.” And as opposed to relying on fantastic elements, he wants to instill fear in the audience by approaching the subject from a religious perspective.
Daniel had this to say about the project: “This show is something fresh and new. It will be along the style of ‘Game of Thrones’ but modern post-apocalyptic. The main character (known as the hand of God) was a priest until he broke his vows and slept with someone he loved, but he finds his old sins washed away by an older priest that he comes across during Season 1. The show has a few good twists involving how the main character is tricked by the Devil to help make his son, which comes for revenge. The group must first go through the four Horsemen to help get clues of finding the Devil’s identity along with finding where the Spear of Destiny is hidden. We want to scare the audience but at the same time keep them watching… The only question is what team are you on: #TeamHoly or #TeamUnholy?”
Since Anthony Daniel’s “U N H O L Y” is still very much in the early stages of development, we don’t have a lot of details to share with the masses as of this writing. However, try your best to swing by the official Facebook page, and keep your eyes peeled for more info. And if we get our hands on some details down the road, we’ll be sure to share them with the class.
