Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino's best-selling Image Comics series GIDEON FALLS is getting a television adaptation via Hivemind and today we've learned that none other than James Wan (THE CONJURING, INSIDIOUS) has come on board as executive producer.

Series co-creators Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino said:

We are very excited about James Wan and Atomic Monster joining the GIDEON FALLS team. James’ creative vision will be a wonderful fit for the world of GIDEON FALLS and to help adapt the series to television in a truly unique and exciting way.

Hivemind co-founders Kathy Lingg, Dinesh Shamdasani, and Jason Brown added:

To have a filmmaker of James Wan's caliber, talent, and vision contributing to the atmospheric and terrifying world that Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino have created with GIDEON FALLS is nothing short of incredible. This is a high-powered and formidable combination for one of the most acclaimed comic series of the decade, and James and his colleagues at Atomic Monster – Michael Clear and Rob Hackett – are the perfect partners to help bring our adaptation to life. Fans of GIDEON FALLS, rest assured: We have some incredible surprises yet in store.

An atmospheric thriller colliding rural mystery and urban horror, the series follows

An ensemble cast of seemingly random strangers — a washed-up Catholic priest, an uncompromising female sheriff, and a young recluse obsessed with unraveling a conspiracy buried in his city’s trash — as they become drawn into a mystery connected to a long-forgotten local legend.

Wan will executive produce the hour-long horror drama alongside Michael Clear, Jason Brown, Sean Daniel, Kathy Lingg Dinesh Shamdasani, and original series creators Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino. Rob Hackett will oversee for Atomic Monster. Have you read the comic? Let us know below!
