Matt Fraction and Kelly Sue DeConnick have signed a two-year deal with Universal TV to adapt some of their comics and original TV concepts, Deadline is reporting. Their first project will be an adaptation of the award-winning Sex Criminals.

The Harvey and Eisner Award-winning Sex Criminals series was created by Fraction with Chip Zdarsky, and made several ‘Best of 2013’ comics lists including Time magazine (see “'Time' Magazine's Best Comics of 2013”). It also spawned a satirical sex guide last year (see “'Sex Criminals' Sex Guide”).

Fraction and DeConnick plan to use their production company, Milkfed Criminal Masterminds, as a launchpad for other comic creators’ IPs.  Former Marvel Editor Lauren Sankovitch has been hired as Managing Editor for MCM.
