‘Grass Kings’ From Boom! Studios Optioned For TV

Who's ready for a Legendary trip to Alaska?  Deadline reports that Grass Kings from Boom! Studios is coming to TV, courtesy of Legendary Television. Grant Wheeler and Ben Freiburger will be the executive producers at the helm for the adaptation, along with Ross Richie and Stephen Christy from Boom.

In case you didn't know, Grass Kings was created by writer Matt Kindt and artist Tyler Jenkins.  The Eisner nominated comic book series follows Robert Pike as he creates a separatist society among the island homesteads of Alaska to insulate himself against the loss of his murdered daughter. With help from the fellow outcasts and misfits that join him, Robert will grow an off-the-grid community into his ideal civilization. But as his kingdom grows, so does the list of adversaries that threaten to tear down what he’s created. Only with the help of his family can Robert hold the demons within, and without, at bay. That was the synopsis released with the announcement, but there is plenty more going on where that came from.

No date has been set to begin filming, and there has been no network or streaming partner attached just yet.  Want to learn more?  Read our review of Grass Kings #1 from back in 2017.
