EXCLUSIVE: Black Mask’s graphic novel Destiny, NY, created by Pat Shand and Manuel Preitano, is being developed for the small screen by Sony Pictures Television.
Tegan and Sara Quin will executive produce alongside Black Mask’s Matteo Pizzolo and Brian Giberson; Shand will serve as consulting producer. The search for a writer is currently underway.
The series and the comics followLogan, a “prophecy kid” who grew up attending the elite NYC boarding school Destiny, NY for children with magical prophecies. At 12 years old, she faced a cataclysmic crisis and rescued the entire planet… but hardly anyone knows what she did and since then she’s been directionless. There’s no prophecy for what Logan is supposed to do with the rest of her life, as she faces a midlife crisis despite being in her 20s. But when Logan falls for Lilith, the estranged daughter of a mystical crime family, their new love jeopardizes the entire school.
Sony Pictures Television teases Destiny, NY is “a grounded story about the magic of young adulthood, star-crossed modern romance, delayed coming of age, and finding your place in a world too busy to notice you.”
