The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that John Wick screenwriter Derek Kolstad will write and produce a TV series based on the hit indie game, My Friend Pedro.
The upcoming adaptation is described in the report as an “R-rated, half-hour dramedy series.” Legendary Television, DJ2 Entertainment, and 87North Productions will collaborate on the project, with Legendary Entertainment reportedly having acquired the rights to the My Friend Pedro video game for the purposes of this adaptation.
87North’s David Leitch (co-director of John Wick and director of Deadpool 2) will also serve as an executive producer on this project alongside various other representatives from the involved studios. There’s no word at this time regarding a planned release window for the TV series or any indication regarding which network or streaming service may eventually pick it up.
According to My Friend Pedro‘s creator, Victor Ågren, this collaboration represents something he could have never dreamed was possible.
