Sid Gentle Films (“Killing Eve”) and Copperheart Entertainment are teaming up for a TV series reboot of the cult Canadian darkly comic werewolf horror film trilogy “Ginger Snaps”.
Anna Ssemuyaba (“Guerilla”) will write the series which tells the story of sisters, Ginger and Brigette, who are self-imposed outcasts in their hometown. Inseparable and fascinated with the macabre, they make a pact to escape their sleepy suburban home by sixteen or else take their own lives.
But on the night of her first period, Ginger is attacked and infected by a werewolf which unleashes a monstrous kind of puberty. Brigette can’t understand this new version of her sister who is violent and sexual. As a bloody trail begins to form in Ginger’s wake, Brigette must find a way to curb her sister’s new cravings or risk losing her forever.
John Fawcett, co-creator and director of the original film and co-creator and executive producer of “Orphan Black,” is executive producing the series alongside Sally Woodward Gentle, Lee Morris, Clark Peterson and Steve Hoban.
