It hasn’t even been published yet but we’ve learned today via Deadline that Grady Hendrix‘s new novel “The Final Girl Support Group” has been set for a series adaptation.
The series is being developed by Annapurna, who acquired the rights to the novel.
“Both an homage to and subversion of iconic slasher films, The Final Girl Support Group is billed as a fresh new take on the beloved horror sub-genre, while also capturing the cultural zeitgeist around true crime stories.”
“The women in the Final Girl Support Group have been in therapy together for decades – ever since one was attacked by a cannibal family in Texas, by a machete wielding maniac at summer camp, by an older brother who returned to settle scores on Halloween, by a lunatic who allegedly entered their dreams. These are the middle-aged survivors of the real-life crimes the slasher movies are based on. Some of them are addicts, some are in denial, and some have become motivational speakers. And now the final girls are mysteriously dying, one by one.”
Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain (“The Fix”) are on board to write the adaptation.
Hendrix’s novel, meanwhile, releases on July 13, 2021 via Berkley.
