Sam Raimi is set to produce a series adaption of the webtoon I’m The Grim Reaper created by Grave Weaver, and Josh Campbell and Matt Stuecken (10 Cloverfield Lane, Horizon Line) have been hired to write the project.
Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who will also be a part of the development process.
I’m the Grim Reaper centers on Scarlet, “a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper.
“But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.” The story is said to have a good balance of scares, gore, and humor.
The official description reads: “On earth there are bad people, and then there are REALLY BAD people. If you’re one of the latter, you don’t just get sent to Hell, you get sent to Hell and get assigned a job collecting the souls of some of the worst people on Earth.
“Such is the career path of a young woman named Scarlet, who dies and is delivered down to the fiery underworld only to find herself in an entry level position as…The Grim Reaper!”
This sounds like fun! I’m looking forward to seeing how this turns out!
