Spooky podcast The Black Tapes might become a TV show
Podcasting is still pretty hot these days, especially as the TV industry is concerned, with the success of Homecoming on Amazon more than making up for the failure of Zach Braff’s similarly podcast-inspired Alex, Inc.—which ABC canceled earlier this year. According to Deadline, NBC is developing another TV show based on a podcast, with the network picking up the rights to Paul Bae and Terry Miles’ fictional radio documentary The Black Tapes. The adaptation is coming from Emerald City’s Matthew Arnold, so that’s not not a great sign, but Bae and Miles will be joining him as writers and executive producers.
