Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

J.M. Barrie’s classic characters from Peter Pan are the latest literary figure to receive an update, courtesy of Fox who have given a script commitment to League of Pan from The Secret Circle‘s Andrew Miller.

The story is described as “a grounded, edgy, soapy thriller featuring updated versions of all the favourite Neverland characters”. It picks up the Lost Boys fifteen years after they left Neverland. Now men and very much estranged, the Lost Boys are forced back together when they realize someone is killing them off one by one. To find out who and why and stay alive, they will have to get past the bitter rivalries and bad blood that forced them out of paradise and rediscover the magic that made them fearless. This time they’re having to do so in the very real world of contemporary Los Angeles.

20th Century Fox TV and Imagine Television are behind the show which has been in development for a couple of years since the companies optioned a script by newcomer Brian Macauley Johnson, who will receive a producer credit for the new version.
