eOne Developing ‘Paranormal Hitmen’ TV Series Based On Comic Books By Brett Murphy & Wilson Gandolpho

eOne is developing a TV series based on the Paranormal Hitmen comic book series from Behemoth. The comic book was written by Brett Murphy and illustrated by Wilson Gandolpho, who will also serve as executive producers on the adaptation. eOne will produce under the late Brian Goldner’s Altar Rock label and Goldner and Josh Feldman will also serve as executive producers.

Paranormal Hitmen is Ghostbusters meets Pulp Fiction, an irreverent action-comedy about two mob hitmen whose lives are turned upside down when they're accidentally recruited into a secret government agency tasked with hunting down paranormal threats. These low-down criminals face threats from the living AND dead, all determined to control the world of the paranormal, while literally confronting ghosts of their pasts.  

Brett Murphy is a comic book writer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife. He stormed onto the scene with his well-received first series, Paranormal Hitmen. Currently he continues writing multiple projects, including licensed work for Behemoth Comics. Murphy is represented by The Tobias Literary Agency and UTA. 

Wilson Gandolpho is an up-and-coming Brazilian artist who has a passion for creating new unique characters, bringing them to life on the page for readers to enjoy. Wilson's work on Paranormal Hitmen was a hit with readers in the US and abroad. He is represented by The Tobias Literary Agency and UTA.

Behemoth Comics was represented by The Tobias Literary Agency and UTA in this deal. The authors were also repped by Amanda Schreyer at Morse Barnes-Brown & Pendleton. 

Altar Rock is represented by UTA.
