SYFY has released the first official trailer for the Russo brothers’ next comic book based project, Deadly Class.
Based on the Image Comics graphic novel, the adaptation was created by Rick Remender — who created the comic series series alongside illustrator Wes Craig — and Miles Orion Feldsott.
Deadly Class is set in a dark, comic book world against the backdrop of the late ’80s counterculture. The story follows a homeless teen that is recruited into a storied elite private school where the world’s top crime families send their next generations. Maintaining his moral code while surviving a ruthless curriculum, vicious social cliques, and his own adolescent uncertainties soon prove to be vital. The drama is described as “a coming of age journey full of ancient mystery and teen angst.
Deadly Class stars Benedict Wong, Benjamin Wadsworth, Lana Condor, Maria Gabriela de Faria, Luke Tennie, Liam James, and Michel Duval.
The series is a co-production between Sony Pictures Television Studios and Universal Cable Productions. Remender and Feldsott will executive produce alongside Joe Russo, Anthony Russo, and Mike Larocca. Chipmunk Hill’s Adam Targum will serve as executive producer on the pilot, along with Lee Toland Krieger, who is also directing.
The series is set to premiere in 2019.
