The cable-based USA Network has ordered a pilot based on the Brooklyn Animal Control comic book written by J.T. Petty and published by IDW.  Petty is writing the script for the pilot and David Goyer (Batman Trilogy) will be one of the show’s executive producers. 

After having trouble getting its Locke & Key property past the pilot stage, IDW formed its own Entertainment Division back in 2013 with the express purpose of developing properties (including Brooklyn Animal Control) for TV, and the strategy is starting to bear fruit (see “IDW Launches TV Development Division”).

Brooklyn Animal Control, which was originally published as a one-shot back in 2013, is a combination police procedural/dark fantasy about a clan of werewolves living in Brooklyn and a special police unit that has to deal with them.  The USA cable net’s plot summary for the series explains this “unconventional family drama” like this: “Delving into the lives of both the Case Officers, and the secretive, highly insular Kveld-Ulf, a community of werewolves living deep in the borough, Brooklyn Animal Control will examine city politics, immigrant communities, and families divided by ambition, secrecy, and tradition.”
