John Wick creator is working on a Hitman TV show

Fox 21 and Hulu are working on a television series based on the Hitman games from IO Interactive. The pilot script is being written by Derek Kolstad, creator of the John Wick action film series, according to Deadline.

The story revolves around Agent 47 (usually simply referred to as “47” or “Mr. 47”), a cloned assassin-for-hire, whose flawless record places him in high demand among the wealthy and elite.

Still early days, but this has the potential to be very cool, especially as the two films based on the Hitman video games were lacking.

Kolstad will be an executive producer along with Adrian Askarieh and Chuck Gordon. The project will be overseen at Fox 21 by Bert Salke, Jane Francis, Gloria Fan and Kira Innes, and at Hulu by Jordan Helman. The hope is for Hitman to become a flagship series.
