Netflix is adapting popular horror podcast “Archive 81” into a supernatural television series directed by Rebecca Thomas.
“The Boys” co-writer Rebecca Sonnenshine will join the project as showrunner and executive producer.
Producer James Wan’s company Atomic Monster will lead production on the series. Wan is best known for directing horror hits like “Saw” and the first two “Conjuring” movies. Wan also is signed on to direct “Aquaman 2” for D.C. and executive produced D.C.’s “Swamp Thing” TV series which debuted last year.
The “Archive 81” podcast is in its third season after launching in April 2019. The show is a fictional found-footage horror podcast set in present-day New York City but alternates between the present and events in the mid-1990s.
