SDCC 2016: Russo Brothers Making Deadly Class Series
The Russo Brothers have already done many comic book adaptations, but at SDCC, they revealed to Deadline that they will now be doing a TV adaptation of the Image Comics book Deadly Class, which was created by Rick Remender and Wes Craig.
If you’re not familiar with the book, Deadly Class is “an unlikely coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of late 80’s counter culture which follows a disillusioned teen recruited into a storied high school for assassins. Maintaining his moral code while navigating a ruthless curriculum, vicious social cliques, and his own adolescent uncertainties may prove fatal.”
Though the Russo’s will be working with Sony Pictures to develop this, there is no set network for Deadly Class as of yet.
