Two New Horror Series In Development From AMC

gamerant.com:

Two new horror series are currently under development at AMC Plus, including a reimagining of the cult classic Seconds, as well as Victor Lavalle's The Devil in Silver, the first season in what the network hopes to be a psychological horror-driven anthology series.

The 1966 film Seconds, based on a novel by David Ely, was directed by John Frankenheimer and starred Hollywood legend Rock Hudson. It told the tale of a man given a chance to start his life over with a clean slate after plastic surgery alterations by a sinister corporation known as The Company, only to find himself haunted by his past.

According to Deadline, AMC's version will star a female lead with a similar plotline to the classic original. The team behind the remake includes executive producer and showrunner Mark Lafferty, Mark Johnson, and Melissa Bernstein, as well as Peter Douglas, who reportedly obtained the rights to several Frankenheimer films for possible remakes. AMC plans for The Devil in Silver to be the first in an anthology series involving average people caught in today’s horrors. The first season comes from the mind of creator and executive producer Victor Lavalle and is based on his novel of the same name. Season 1 tells the story of a man committed to an institution where he must battle far more sinister forces than his own mind.

Both projects are being developed under AMC Networks' established “scripts-to-series” model, which involves opening writers' rooms to develop prospective shows with multiple scripts for straight-to-series consideration. Bonfire and Damascus became new series under the model. Producers working on both new projects include many behind the recent AMC
