Legendary Television has sealed the deal with Frank Miller to turn Sin City into a television series. According to Deadline Robert Rodriguez is “close” to joining the project, Deadline reports. “The deal on the table is for Legendary to guarantee a first season of the show, contingent on them setting it up with a network or streaming platform.” “The deal with Miller also calls for a hard R animated series for a Sin City prequel based on Miller’s graphic novels.” Robert Rodriguez co-directed 2005’s Sin City as well as its sequel along with Miller.

The original James Wan-directed film gave way to one sequel already, plus the Annabelle trilogy, The Nun, The Curse of La Llorona, and now, The Conjuring 3. In The Conjuring 3, Ed and Lorraine Warren will return for a new scare. Patrick Wilson, who stars as Ed, shed some light on the sequel recently during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
