Series Adaptation of Graphic Novel Horror ‘Stillwater’ Ordered by Amazon Prime Video

Can you feel the stillness in the air? Variety reports that Amazon Prime Video just ordered an eight-episode series adaptation of the Skybound graphic novel Stillwater.

Created by Chip Zdarsky and Ramón K Pérez, the official synopsis describes the story as: “a mind-bending horror thriller that focuses on ex-con Daniel West. When Daniel receives a mysterious letter promising answers about his past and a substantial inheritance in the small town of Stillwater, he discovers a community where nothing ever ages, no one ever dies, and nobody ever gets out.”

Sounds like a neat place!

The project comes from writers Greg Berlanti and Carly Wray.

Berlanti and Wray are also on as executive producers on the show, with Berlanti doing so via Berlanti Productions. Also executive producing are Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, and Robbie Rogers of Berlanti Productions, along with Robert Kirkman, David Alpert, Rick Jacobs, Glenn Geller, and Chip Zdarsky for Skybound Entertainment. Jonathan Gabay also serves as an executive producer. Warner Bros. Television and Amazon MGM Studios will produce.

Said Berlanti and Wray, “We’re thrilled to dive into Stillwater because it’s far beyond the usual immortality story. It’s a horror show about a community that has to decide what forever is worth, and what they’re willing to do to protect it. Chip Zdarsky & Ramón K Pérez created an extraordinary world that’s both terrifying and deeply human, and we’re so grateful to our partners at Amazon, WBTV, and Skybound for trusting us to bring such a beloved title to life. We couldn’t be more excited for fans, and everyone discovering this story for the first time, to meet Daniel West and all the eerie townsfolk lying in wait for him.”

Added Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios, “Stillwater is a truly original series that blends horror, mystery, and psychological suspense into something entirely unexpected. Greg Berlanti, Carly Wray, and the incredible teams at WBTV and Skybound have created a world unlike anything audiences have seen before—one that’s unsettling, emotionally rich, and impossible to look away from. We’re thrilled to bring this remarkable story to Prime Video audiences around the world.”
