Last Updated on August 2, 2021

If you just can't get enough horror on television then we've got some pretty cool news to share as there is another horror-themed show in the works at the home of "Hannibal". That's right, NBC is developing a new show aimed at horror buffs, and this one is poised to explore demonic possession.

THR is reporting that NBC has handed out a script commitment to the horror-drama "The Possession of Maggie Gill", with EAGLE EYE's John Glenn set to write.

Maggie centers on the Gills, a loving a middle-class family in Eugene, Ore., who find themselves in the midst of crisis when paranormal occurrences begin to affect the everyday fabric of their home.  At the same time, a series of brutal murders is being investigated by two local detectives. The storylines converge as those involved slowly realize that the murders and hauntings may have a common link: Maggie Gill, 15-year-old daughter of the Gill family, who might be possessed by demonic attachments.

The drama hails from Amblin Television (CBS's "Under the Dome" and "Extant") and will be written by John Glenn. Glenn will exec produce alongside Matt Luber, Adam Kane as well as Amblin's Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey and Harris Fishman.

Exorcism may be the new hot trend in horror for television. Let's not forget that "The Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman is adapting his exorcism comic "Outcast" as a pilot at Cinemax. I'm always down for some demonic television so I say bring it on!
