Grady Hendrix's The Final Girl Support Group is becoming an HBO Max series
A book about women who survive horror movie-like attacks is becoming a TV series
According to Deadline, horror writer Grady Hendrix’s The Final Girl Support Group—a novel that wears its cinematic inspirations on its sleeve, which is close to a pun—is getting an adaptation. This is basically the book’s ultimate destiny, because it seemed perfectly suited to an adaptation, but the twist here is that the slasher book based on slasher movies is becoming… a slasher TV show. The project is being developed for HBO Max by Charlize Theron and her Denver & Delilah Films label as well as Barbara and Andy Muschietti’s Double Dream. Andy Muschietti, who knows a thing or two about slashing from his It movies (not that Pennywise is a traditional slasher, but he does slash), will also direct the show’s pilot, though it doesn’t sound like any other details like that, be they writer or directors or actors, have been announced.
