Universal Cable Productions already has experience on producing and adapting comic books such as Syfy’s comedy crime series Happy! which was also from Image Comics, and Netflix‘s upcoming superhero series The Umbrella Academy starring Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, and Mary J. Blige. The series is scheduled to debut in 2019.
