Fear Agent, the Image-turned-Dark Horse Comics sci-fi series from Rick Remender, Tony Moore and Jerome Opena, is being adapted to TV by Amazon Studios, Seth Rogen and David F. Sandberg.
According to THR, Amazon won the rights to the series over Peacock, HBO Max and TNT. The Batman co-writer Mattson Tomlin is attached as a writer and will pen the pilot episode, and in addition to Rogen and Sanberg, the project will be executive produced by Evan Golberg, James Weaver and Lotta Losten, as well as Remender and Moore. Meanwhile, Matt Tolmach and David Manpearl are signed on as producers.
Fear Agent centers on Heathrow Huston, an alcoholic Texas spaceman who regularly embarks on high-octane adventures. In 2009, Universal Pictures planned to adapt the series to film, though the project never came to pass.
The official logline for the series is below:
Interstellar invaders. Time travel. Clones of clones of clones, and lots of whiskey. Whether he’s battling the scourge of of space, going back in time to stop the alien invasion that changed earth forever, or winning his ex-wife back, there’s nothing that Heath Huston won’t do to try to right the wrongs and gets his family back. He is, after all, the last Fear Agent.
At the time of this writing, no release date or casting information for Amazon Studios' Fear Agent is available.
