“The Midwich Cuckoos”, the original novel that inspired Wolf Rilla’s Village of the Damned (1960) and John Carpenter’s 1995 horror film of the same name, is being adapted once again, this time as a series.
David Farr, the British writer behind “The Night Manager” and “Hanna”, is developing an eight-part adaptation of John Wyndham’s sci-fi novel for Comcast-owned European broadcaster Sky, Deadline reports.
“Wyndham’s 1957 story centers on the sleepy English village of Midwich, where a strange sequence of events culminates in the community’s women falling pregnant with alien children with glowing eyes and otherworldly powers.”
The TV remake is housed at ITV Studios-backed Route 24, which is run by Arlington Road producer Marc Samuelson, and Snowed-In Productions, the sister company of Bronte Film and Television, which produces J.K Rowling dramas including The Casual Vacancy and Strike.
