Starz Adapting Cullen Bunn’s ‘Bone Parish’ for TV Series to Be Produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson
Starz is set to adapt Cullen Bunn and Jonas Scharf’s graphic novel, Bone Parish, into a TV series, reports Variety. And the project has a curious name attached as executive producer…none other than Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
The plot follows “the Winters, [a] family [who] builds an empire around a powerful new drug — crafted from the ashes of the dead — that grants users vivid, haunting visions of the past. But as demand surges, rival factions, deadly secrets, and supernatural forces close in, pulling them deeper into a violent and inescapable nightmare of crime, horror, and family legacy.”
Personally, I haven’t read Bone Parish, but I am a fan of Bunn’s work, in particular. The author is one of the premier horror writers in comics, having written the excellent Harrow County series.
Diane Ademu-John and Declan de Barra (Dune: Prophecy, The Witcher: Blood Origin) will act as showrunners and executive producers.
Best known for his music, Jackson will executive produce through his G-Unit Film & Television banner.
Said Jackson, “I’ve always been drawn to stories that break the mold, and Bone Parish does exactly that. It takes crime, family, and power, and mixes it with something dark and supernatural, in a way that feels fresh. Exploring what happens when the world of the living gets mixed up with the world of the dead, this story has incredible depth, and we’re building a series that’s going to keep audiences locked in from the first episode.”
