Dario Argento’s Italian horror classic Phenomena, which was also released under the title Creepers in the U.S., is being adapted into a television series. Variety reports that the Italian company, Titanus Production, is behind the small-screen adaptation.

Phenomena: The Series is said to reimagine the world of famed horror and Giallo filmmaker Dario Argento’s 1985 horror movie, delivering a unique blend of supernatural intrigue and high-stakes drama.

From writers and creators Nicola Guaglianone and Menotti, the series adaptation follows Jennifer Corvino, an American student at a fencing academy in the glamorous Dolomites, who harbours a secret psychic link with insects. As Jennifer navigates the challenges of being the new girl at school, she must also confront a series of brutal murders. With her unique abilities, Jennifer must learn to harness her power to stop the killer, save her comrades, and survive.

“We have reimagined the visionary world of Dario Argento’s iconic film, bringing it to life with a fresh twist that blends the sinister undertone with the pop aesthetic,” the show’s producers said in a statement. “With the work of successful writers, Nicola Guaglianone and Menotti, our goal is to make a compelling series, with a bold, state-of-the-art aesthetic, honouring the original but speaking to a new generation.”

The series project is currently being pitched to prospective partners and broadcasters.
