Twenty-four hours before Comic Con kicks off in San Diego, Amazon MGM Studios has given the greenlight for a Stillwater series. The series will introduce people to a world of horror and psychological fiction.
For those who don’t know, Stillwater is a series that tells a story about an ex-con named Daniel West, who travels to a mysterious and isolated town after receiving a letter about his inheritance. However, he quickly discovers that nobody in Stillwater ever dies or ages, and any idea of escape in near impossible. The series showrunners are Greg Berlanti (Brillant Minds, The Last Guest of the Holloway Motel) and Carly Wray (DMZ, Watchmen) and have been tasked with the eight episode series.
According to Deadline, Berlanti and Wray issued this statement regarding their involvement in the series: “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.”
According to Deadline, Stillwater is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Amazon MGM Studios. Wray executive produces alongside Berlanti, Sarah Schechter (Found, All American), Leigh London Redman (You, The Girls on the Bus), and Robbie Rogers (Mineshaft: The Cruising Murders, All American: Homecoming) for Berlanti Productions and Robert Kirkman (Invincible, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon), David Alepert (The Walking Dead: Dead City, Vaka), Rick Jacobs (Spike and Mike’s Animation Extravaganza 2025, Heart Attack), Glen Geller (Accused, America’s Most Wanted), and Chip Zdarsky (MAD About DC, Chipclass) for Skybound Entertainment.
