Netflix is developing Grim, the acclaimed horror-fantasy comic from BOOM! Studios, as an adult animated series. The adaptation will be executive produced by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, creators and showrunners of Netflix’s global hit Wednesday, alongside Jennifer Yuh Nelson, Supervising Director of the Emmy-winning Love, Death + Robots.
Created by writer Stephanie Phillips and artist Flaviano, Grim debuted in 2022 and quickly rose to become one of the highest-selling launches in BOOM! Studios history. The series garnered critical acclaim for its bold visual style and genre-blending mythology, culminating in a successful 25-issue run that wrapped earlier this month.
“Grim has meant so much to me and to everyone who’s worked on it,” said Phillips. “To see it take on new life—pun intended—as an animated series with Netflix is beyond exciting, and I can’t wait for fans, both new and old, to step into Jessica Harrow’s world with us.”
A character-driven supernatural saga, Grim follows Jessica Harrow, a newly recruited Reaper tasked with guiding souls to the afterlife. Unlike her fellow Reapers, however, Jessica has no memory of her own death—or her life before it. Her search for answers draws her deeper into the hidden architecture of the afterlife, uncovering cosmic secrets, unseen forces… and a shocking connection between Jessica and Death itself.
