Starz is developing a TV series based on “Bone Parish,” an adaptation of Cullen Bunn and Jonas Scharf’s graphic novel set to be executive produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
The crime series is set in New Orleans as “the Winters family builds an empire around a powerful new drug — crafted from the ashes of the dead — that grants users vivid, haunting visions of the past. But as demand surges, rival factions, deadly secrets, and supernatural forces close in, pulling them deeper into a violent and inescapable nightmare of crime, horror, and family legacy,” according to an official plot synopsis.
Jackson explained what drew him to the series in a statement: “I’ve always been drawn to stories that break the mold, and ‘Bone Parish’ does exactly that. It takes crime, family, and power, and mixes it with something dark and supernatural, in a way that feels fresh. Exploring what happens when the world of the living gets mixed up with the world of the dead, this story has incredible depth, and we’re building a series that’s going to keep audiences locked in from the first episode.”
Diane Ademu-John and Declan de Barra, known for “Dune: Prophecy” and “The Witcher: Blood Origin,” share showrunner and executive producing duties. Jackson executive produces through his G-Unit Film & Television banner, extending the performer’s longstanding relationship with Starz after “Power: Origins,” the recently greenlit “Power: Legacy,” and the upcoming boxing crime drama “Fightland,” set to release July 31 on Starz.
Diane and Declan are repped by CAA, Jackoway Austen and Atlas Literary.
