Image Comics' THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH is Getting a Series Adaptation
The Image Comics series The Department of Truth is set to be adapted as a TV show. The writer and creator of the comic, James Tynion IV, is attached to co-write the series.
The comic launched in 2020, and the story centers on “former FBI agent Cole Turner, who has studied conspiracy theories all his life, but who still isn't prepared for what happens when he discovers that all of them are true, from the JFK assassination to flat Earth theory and reptilian shapeshifters. One organization has been covering them up for generations. What is the deep, dark secret behind the Department of Truth?”
I enjoy a good story that revolves around conspiracy theories. I’m not familiar with the comic, but this sounds like it’ll make for a cool series! It seems like it could have an X-Files-type vibe to it.
The show will be produced by Sister, a production banner co-founded by Stacey Snider, Elisabeth Murdoch, and Jane Featherstone. Snider previously served as Chairman and CEO of 20th Century Fox, prior to its acquisition by 20th Century Fox, and she was the executive who oversaw the studio's development deal with BOOM!.
