James Wan has joined the producing committee over on “The Magic Order”, a new Netflix series based on an original story by Mark Millar.
The “Aquaman” director will also direct the pilot for the series, which Lindsay Beer will server as writer/showrunner on.
Here’s the logline : Five families of magicians sworn to protect our world must battle an enemy who’s picking them off one by one. By day they live among us as our neighbors, friends and co-workers, but by night they are the sorcerers, magicians and wizards that protect us from the forces of darkness – unless the darkness gets them first.
“The Magic Order” was created in-house at Netflix by Mark Millar and later turned into a comic-book, written by Millar and illustrated by the legendary Marvel artist Olivier Coipel, based on designs created by the team at Netflix. The first issue of this series was the highest-selling new comic-book launch in almost 20 years and the graphic novel, collecting the first six issues, has just reached stores.
Wan, Beer and Millar will be executive producers on the series.
