One of the most prolific TV producers of the past 25 years, Greg Berlanti almost single-handedly kept The CW afloat as a co-creator of DC’s expansive and interconnected Arrowverse and its many superhero dramas, and he’s also helped usher in other brainy comic book series such as Doom Patrol, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Titans and Dead Boy Detectives. (Among many other youth-skewing series.) Now, he’s set to tackle one of my favorite comic books of the 2020s at Amazon, and is teaming with a writer from HBO’s Emmy-winning Watchmenfor it.
Berlanti actually now has three different TV projects all going forward at the same time, as another one of his co-developed series — Netflix’s You — recently wrapped its fifth and final season with what star Penn Badgley called a “truly appropriate end.” But the one I’m most interested in is his latest comic adaptation, the horror-thriller Stillwater, which he’ll be bringing to live-action alongside Watchmen’s Carly Wray, who’s also written for The Leftovers, Mad Men and Westworld.
