Third Shift Society Adapted into Live-Action Series

Wattpad WEBTOON Studios, The Jim Henson Company, and Rehab Entertainment are adapting the popular webcomic 'Third Shift Society' into a live-action series. The story follows Ellie, a seemingly normal young woman who meets Ichabod, a cursed paranormal detective with a Jack-o-lantern for a head, as they explore her latent psychic abilities and investigate paranormal mysteries. Ray Utarnachitt, known for his work on 'DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,' will write the adaptation, with executive producers including David Madden and Lisa Henson. The webcomic has garnered over 15 million views and was nominated for an Eisner Award in 2020. Producers aim to capture the comic's dark humor and immersive storytelling, making it well-suited for a television format. The project reflects a growing trend of adapting webcomics into screen content.
