As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix has picked up SHADECRAFT, a new young adult horror tale written by Joe Henderson, illustrated by Lee Garbett, and published by Image Comics.

SHADECRAFT follows Zadie Lu, a teenager who is afraid of her own shadow. She REALLY should have grown out of by now, right? But something weird is happening in her small town. Zadie could swear the shadows are coming to life. Watching her. Trying to KILL her. But how do you fight something you can’t even touch? And how does all of this tie into her FAMILY, of all things?

Joe Henderson is currently executive producer/co-showrunner of LUCIFER on Netflix. He served as a co-executive producer on WHITE COLLAR, GRACELAND and ALMOST HUMAN. He also acted as a consulting producer on the miniseries 11/22/63. He is currently adapting SKYWARD as a motion picture for Sony, with Brad Peyton (RAMPAGE, SAN ANDREAS) attached to direct.

Lee Garbett is the artist/co-creator of SKYWARD with writer Joe Henderson (showrunner of LUCIFER on NETFLIX). Published by IMAGE COMICS, SKYWARD is currently in development by SONY PICTURES. He has worked for Marvel on LOKI: AGENT OF ASGARD, SPIDER-MAN, DEFENDERS and GHOST RIDER and for DC on LUCIFER, BATMAN, BATGIRL and THE OUTSIDERS. Outside of comics, Lee designs posters, costumes and concept art for films.
 
SHADECRAFT is Henderson and Garbett’s follow-up comic to their Eisner Award-nominated Skyward, which is set up at Sony Pictures and that Henderson adapted. In the development deal, Henderson will co-write the pilot with Georgia Lee, a writer-producer on sci-fi shows The Expanse and The 100. The two will also exec produce.
