Netflix is developing Grim, the acclaimed BOOM! Studios horror-fantasy comic book, as an adult animated series. The adaptation will be executive produced by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, creators and showrunners of Netflix’s global hit Wednesday, alongside Jennifer Yuh Nelson, Supervising Director of the Emmy-winning Love, Death + Robots.
Created by writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Flaviano, Grim debuted in 2022 and quickly became one of the highest-selling launches in BOOM! Studios history. The series earned critical praise for its genre-blending mythology and striking visual style. Its 25-issue run concluded earlier this month.
“Grim has meant so much to me and to everyone who’s worked on it,” said series writer and co-creator Stephanie Phillips. “To see it take on new life (pun intended) as an animated series with Netflix is beyond exciting, and I can’t wait for fans, new and old, to step into Jessica Harrow’s world with us.”
A character-driven supernatural saga, Grim follows Jessica Harrow, a newly recruited Reaper tasked with ferrying souls to the afterlife. Unlike her fellow Reapers, Jessica has no memory of her death or life before. Her search for answers pulls her deeper into the unseen architecture of the afterlife, revealing hidden forces, cosmic secrets, and her shocking personal connection to Death itself.
Miles Millar, Alfred Gough, and Aaron Schmidt will Executive Produce for Millar / Gough Ink. Stephen Christy and Adam Yoelin will Executive Produce for BOOM! Studios, with Mette Norkjaer Co-Executive Producing. Jen Yuh Nelson will Executive Produce. Comic series Co-Creators Stephanie Phillips and Flaviano will Co-Executive Produce.
While no release date has been set, fans can expect to hear more information in the coming months by staying tuned to www.boom-studios.com and follow @boomstudios on X.
