Robert McCammon’s epic post-apocalyptic tale Swan Song is finally heading to the small screen, according to Deadline.

The 1987 horror tale is widely acclaimed as one of the best of the genre, with The Walking Dead’s Greg Nicotero set to executive produce and direct the pilot for the screen version.

“Being a longtime fan of Robert’s novels, his story of survival in a world forever changed by political mistrust and international intrigue intertwined with a supernatural force has always been one of my favorites,” Nicotero said. “The time is perfect to delve into this world.”

“The post-apocalyptic world of McCammon’s novel is incredibly compelling, and unlike anything we have seen before in film or television,” executive producers Steve Barnett, Alan Powell and Vicky Patel said in a joint statement. “We’re very excited to bring this world to life and can’t imagine any better partners for the series than Greg and Brian, particularly with Greg’s years of experience in expanding the world of walkers in The Walking Dead.“
