Greg Berlanti's horror series Stillwater ordered by Prime Video

Greg Berlanti returns to the writers room for Prime Video's horror series Stillwater. Mega-producer Greg Berlanti has three projects at three different streamers in various stages of development, including a series order for Stillwater, based on the horror comic of the same name, at Prime Video. Berlanti is also developing a high school mystery series at Hulu and a family drama at HBO Max.



All three projects hail from Warner Bros. TV, where Berlanti (pictured) has a rich deal and has been his studio for most of his career.

Berlanti and Carly Wray (Watchmen (2019), Mad Men) are adapting the Skybound comic Stillwater. The series follows ex-con Daniel West, who receives a mysterious letter promising answers about his past and a sizable inheritance in the small town of Stillwater. There, he discovers a community where nothing ever ages, no one dies, and no one ever gets out.

Stillwater and the Hulu project Foster Dade will also mark Berlanti’s first television writing in years. While the prolific producer has a “developed by” or creator credit on many of the series his eponymous company has produced—including most of The CW’s Arrow-verse series—he hasn’t had a writing credit since the early days of You, which is now wrapping up its run on Netflix.

Hulu acquired Berlanti and Bash Doran's spec script for Foster Dade and has set its sights on a pilot order. The series, based on the Nash Jenkins novel Foster Dade Explores the Cosmos, delves into the mystery behind a tragedy at a prep school. The series description states that it will explore "privilege, power, sexuality, and masculinity in the age of the internet, fear, and pharmaceuticals."

The Max project is still in early development, but it’s a family drama that Berlanti will co-write. The streamer plans to produce the series on a similar model to The Pitt, with 15 episodes per season and a set schedule.

Berlanti’s current series include All American (2018) on The CW and Found and Brilliant Minds on NBC; the final season of You debuted on Netflix on April 24. He’s also an executive producer on Netflix’s live-action Scooby-Doo series, which received a series order in March.
