Netflix Gives Series Order to Drama 'Black Hole' from Jane Schoenbrun

After a competitive bidding war, Netflix has today given a series order to the original drama series Black Hole based on the graphic novels by Charles Burns. I Saw the TV Glow helmer Jane Schoenbrun will write and direct the adaptation. 





There's an old myth that haunts the seemingly perfect small town of Roosevelt: if you have sex too young, you'll contract the "bug," a virus that literally turns you into a "monster" from your worst nightmares. Absurd, right? That's what Chris always assumed, until, after one reckless night at the beginning of senior year, she finds herself infected. Now she'll be cast out to the woods to live with the other infected, where a chilling, new threat emerges: a serial killer who's hunting them one-by-one.

Schoenbrun and Burns will executive produce with Erin Levy, Yariv Milchan, Arnon Milchan, Natalie Lehmann and Laura Delahaye. New Regency and Plan B Entertainment will produce in association with Netflix.
