A ‘From Hell’ Series Is In The Works At FX

Briefly: Now this is an adaptation I’d love to see (well, not as much as a Y: The Last Man series, but I’ll take what I can get).

According to Deadline, FX has started working on an event series based on Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s From Hell, which is “the story of Jack the Ripper, perhaps the most infamous man in the annals of murder. Detailing the events leading up to the Whitechapel killings and the cover-up that followed, From Hell is a meditation on the mind of a madman whose savagery and violence gave birth to the 20th century.”

Don Murphy, who also produced the film adaptation (and Transformers…) is set to produce the series, which will be written by Children of Men screenwriter David Arata. Now, this is a property that was probably always best suited to a series, because it’s so freaking long. Having the opportunity to go far more in depth than the film adaptation ever did can only mean good things for this version, and I cannot wait to see what comes from it.

Details on the series are essentially non-existent at this point, but we’ll be sure to fill you in as soon as we learn more. Are you down for a From Hell series? Sound out below!
