"The world of Descender and Ascender just keeps growing, and Dustin and I are very happy to be working with Lark to bring it to televisions screens as well," Lemire said in a statement. "Their passion for the comics and devotion to telling the story the right way has us both very excited."

The Descender series follows Tim-21, "a companion robot who is thrust into a hostile cosmos when he discovers that he's the missing link between a fleet of life-annihilating constructs and modern robotics." Its sequel Ascender occurs ten years after the first series in "a magical world sans machines and follows a young girl who embarks on an epic quest to find Tim-21." Descender ran from 2015 to 2018 for 32 issues, with Ascender debuting in 2019.

Lemire and Nguyen will serve as executive producers on the series, along with Lark Production president Erin Haskett under NBCUniversal. "Descender [and] Ascender is a beautifully crafted saga, examining the tolls of technology on nature and humanity, which feels very timely for television," Haskett added.

At the time of writing, Descender does not have a cast or release date.
