Paging Mr. Quimper! It looks like Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles is heading to the small screen
While I do feel that some of Grant Morrison’s later works often seem to be missing bits from the story, I do love his weird, trippy, twisted tale of The Invisibles.
Set in 2020, the series follows an elite international cell of occult freedom fighters dedicated to the creation of a better world for everyone by any means necessary.
There has been talk of adapting it into a film or TV show over the years, but now it looks like it may actually be happening.
Universal Cable Productions has inked an overall deal with Grant Morrison. Under the deal, Morrison will work with the studio to develop and produce original content for television networks and streamers.
Variety report that Morrison’s newest project with UCP will be developing and writing his long-running comic series The Invisibles for television.
UCP is currently in production on Season 2 of Happy!, based on Morrison and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel of the same name. The Syfy series is executive produced by Morrison and Brian Taylor who also co-wrote the pilot. The series follows Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni), a corrupt ex-cop turned hit man whose life is changed by a relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (voice of Patton Oswalt).
UCP, along with Amblin Television, is also working with Morrison, Taylor and David Wiener on adapting Aldous Huxley’s iconic dystopian novel “Brave New World.” Morrison serves as a writer and executive producer.
