According to The Hollywood Reporter, the hit comic book series from creators James Tynion IV and Martin Simmonds has been picked up for television and film. 

Co-founded by Elisabeth Murdoch, Stacey Snider and Jane Featherstone, the production company Sister has acquired the rights to the title from Image Comics. 

Tynion is set to co-write the script for the series with search for another co-writer in progress. Both Tynion and Simmonds will be executive producers for the series. 

The Department of Truth follows Cole Turner, a conspiracy enthusiast who discovers that all the conspiracy theories he’s ever researched are true — from the JFK Assassination to Flat Earth Theory and Reptilian Shapeshifters. One organization has been covering them up for generations. What is the deep, dark secret behind the Department of Truth?

Sister is the creator-focused venture that has been involved with shows such as Sky/HBO’s Chernobyl and Sky/AMC’s Gangs of London and has invested in Molly Stern’s publishing initiative Zando, LeBron James and Maverick Carter’s Springhill Entertainment, podcast studio Campside Media and comic and digital publisher AWA Studios. The company has also picked up rights to books such as James McBride’s Deacon King Kong and Lydia Millet’s A Children’s Bible: A Novel.
