The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman of the zombie drama on FX (TopTV 110) is teaming with Fox International Channels (FIC) for a new TV drama about the world of exorcism which means the show will make its way to Fox Entertainment of FX on TopTV.
The new as-yet-untitled drama follows a young man, Kyle Barnes, who has been plagued by possession since he was a child. As an adult he goes on a spiritual journey to find answers ... but what he uncovers could mean the end of life in Earth.
Robert Kirkman will be executive producer of the new drama alongside The Walking Dead executive producer David Alpert of Circle of Confusion.
"Sharon Tal Yguado and the entire team at Fox International Channels have been very instrumental in making The Walking Dead the worldwide success that it has become. I couldn't resist the opportunity," says Robert Kirkman.
"Exorcism has captivated movie audiences all over the world but has never been explored on television," says Sharon Tal Yguado, the executive vice president for scripted programming and original development at FIC.
"Robert Kirkman who forever changed the scope of pay-TV with The Walking Dead, possesses an unparallelled talent of telling big concept stories in a smart and incredibly genuine way. We couldn't be more excited to be working with him on this project, which we see as a reinvention of the genre."
