Earlier this year, the new eco-thriller “The Swarm” made its premiere on German TV. News has now come (via Deadline) that the series will be surfacing on The CW here in the States this September. “Around the world, strange happenings, borne out of the oceans: Whales destroy boats, deep sea crabs attack beaches, mussels block container ships. An unknown ice worm destabilizes continental slopes and triggers tsunamis. A deadly pathogen spreads into the drinking water. Across the globe, lives are increasingly imperiled, the situation worsening by the day—and yet, nobody can draw a connection between the seemingly random attacks.” “A group of scientists who come together through their shared sense that something bigger is at play: an intelligent life force, dwelling in the deep—capable of manipulating the ocean and everything that resides in it.

For years, fans have been begging for a series adaptation of the horror film 13 Ghosts. Finally, it appears that their prayers may finally be answered. Dread Central is reporting that Patrick Mediate (Primordial Pictures) and “Fear the Walking Dead’s” SFX Supervisor Aaron McLane have announced their partnership with Dark Castle Entertainment to develop and pitch the series to Sony Pictures Television. Dread Central shared some images from the pitch. This would not be Dark Castle’s first experience with 13 Ghosts.

Of course, that movie was a more terrifying reimaging of the 1960 classic that was directed by William Castle. The anthology series featuring different directs per episode will reportedly cover one ghost per episode. If the series stays true to the 2001 film, it will feature the thirteen ghosts of the Black Zodiac, The Angry Princess, The First
