AmongNetflix ’s boneheaded slateof adaptations is a unrecorded - action series based on Gerard Way’sUmbrella Academyseries of comics . Now , means has spill some visible light on his participation and how he ’s communicated his desire to the show ’s writer ’s room .
In an interview with Collider , Way said this :
What I did for Steve Blackman ( the showrunner ) and the writers in that first writers room was to produce an eighteen page text file that laid everything out . Even of the graphic novels that have n’t occur out yet . Which should equal eight when we ’re all done . So I gave them the blueprint for what happens , because you do need to seed certain things in there for future series and the hope is that it ’s a success so that you do a draw more of these . They ’re very peculiar what Gabriel and I are doing next . We always send off them the new comics . They really want to bang what ’s happening .
Much like George RR Martin before him , room avoid the stress of adapt an ongoing serial by just giving the show ’s writers major plot point in overture , letting them know what ’s going to happen so they can decently set up foreshadowing and seed later development in the oeuvre they ’re creating now . It ’s a clever manner to go about this kind of piece of work , especially when the destiny of both Netflix read and ongoing comic books are both , broadly speaking speaking , always in flux .
The quotation mark also reveal a flake more about Way ’s plans for the comic , which is slate to have eight lifelike novel in total .
