A new report suggests actress/producer Selena Gomez and filmmaker Jordan Peele are teaming up for a TV series adaptation of Sean Lewis’ graphic novel “Coyotes” at Amazon Prime Video.
Film Updates broke the report, indicating there are no plans for Gomez to appear in the series which was in early development until it was halted due to the writer’s strike. They also indicate the casting process has yet to begin.
Published by Image Comics, the story is described as “Kill Bill meets The Last of Us” and unfolds in the City of Lost Girls, a border town in the desert where women mysteriously go missing.
A police officer named Frank Coffey is trying to learn the truth when he meets Red, a little girl armed with a katana blade and a mission: murder the werewolves stalking the border and picking off women one by one.
When it’s discovered that the Wolves are the men of the town, Red and Officer Coffey find themselves thrown together in a “thriller of mythic proportions”.
Gomez is attached as an executive producer on the series, while Peele will be involved under his Monkeypaw Productions banner. Sean Lewis is also reportedly involved as an executive producer.
Gomez will next be seen in the third season of the acclaimed Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building”. She’s currently filming Jacques Audiard‘s “Emilia Perez” and is attached to remakes of 1980s comedy classics “16 Candles” and “Working Girl”.
Peele is currently developing his fourth feature set to be released on Christmas Day 2024, as well as producing a remake of Wes Craven’s “The People Under the Stairs”.
