BOOM! Studios announced it has sold drama projects based on Deep State and The Rinse to 20th Century Fox TV under its existing "first look" deal (see "20th Century Fox Does First Look Deal with BOOM!").
Deep State is written by Justin Jordan (Spread), with art by Ariela Kristantina (Death of Wolverine). The conspiracy-driven series follows John Harrow, a government agent for the shadowy Control branch. He doesn’t exist, and neither do the black books operations and experiments he is called in to protect when things go wrong. According to Deadline, the drama will center on the newly recruited FBI agent Katherine Branch, who is partnered with Harrow to help distract the public with conspiracy theories. The drama will be written by Anna Fricke (Being Human, Everwood). BOOM! announced plans to release a second printing of issue #1, with a new cover by Matt Taylor.
The Rinse is a miniseries written by crime novelist Gary Phillips (Angeltown) and drawn by Marc Laming (American Century, Kings Watch). The story follows Jeff Sinclair, a money laundryman who is pulled into a dangerous gig cleaning $25 million in stolen casino skim money. The adaptation is being written/executive produced by Mick Betancourt (Necessary Roughness, Law & Order, SVU).
