Chew‘s psychic cannibal FDA agent could be headed for television

Image Comics ’ Chew stars Tony Chu , an FDA agent with the ability to gain psychical insight into anything he eat — which intend now and then eating bits of people . Now the serial publication is getting animated , with a possible live - action TV series to stick with .

Showtime once tried to produce a archetype of the comedian , which was created by John Layman and Rob Guillory , but it never come to realization . Now , the Hollywood Reporterreports , producer Jeff Krelitz of Quality Transmedia has snapped up the output rights , design to first create an animated adaptation of the comic and then drive for a lively - action series .

Chew is a in earnest harebrained comic , set during a supposed bird flu epidemic that makes chicken forbid and the FDA the most powerful governance agency in the United States . It ’s filled with cyborgs , cause of death roosters , hallucinogenic anuran , contraband poultry , hellish governing agentive role , and Tony ’s own nutty family unit . I ca n’t serve but finger that it would make an awing repair serial publication , particularly found on Guillory hilarious nontextual matter . Sadly , it sound like the animated adjustment is just a stepping stone to a live - activity series . I just hope that Krelitz is able-bodied to maintain the comic ’s madness in whatever format he delivers .
