As I revealed last year, Electric Shadow Company have been trying for a quite a while to develop a TV adaptation of my Zom-B series, in collaboration with another company called Fantastic Films. They hired a writer, Susan Connolly, who has produced a script for a pilot, and hopefully they'll be able to interest one of the big players (e.g. BBC, Netflix, HBO... the usual suspects!) into pumping in the money required to take things to the next stage and actually film it.

I think the pandemic has thrown a big spanner in the works of the TV and movie industry, as it has to most industries, so there hasn't been much movement forward since I last spoke about this -- if things start to return to some kind of normal this year, it should free the team up to go out and start pitching again. But Susan recently spotted the holder page for the project on the Electric Shadow Company website. She thought it looked pretty cool, so she shared it with me. And I thought it looked pretty cool too, so I'm sharing it with... YOU!! :-)
