AMC Networks has opened up writers’ rooms for two planned horror shows for AMC+, Deadline reports this afternoon, which are titled “Seconds” and “The Devil in Silver.”
Deadline notes, “They are being developed under AMC Networks’ established “scripts-to-series” model, which involves opening writers’ rooms to develop prospective shows, including generating multiple scripts, for straight-to-series consideration.”
Interesting to note, “Seconds” is actually a reimagining of the John Frankenheimer movie from 1966, which starred Rock Hudson and centered on plastic surgery.
The AMC+ series is said to be a “radical reimagining of the cult classic with a female lead at its center.” The project is based on the novel by David Ely, as well as the 1966 film.
Mark Lafferty (“Halt and Catch Fire”) is the creator/showrunner of AMC’s “Seconds.”
In the upcoming series, when Claire Munro’s world is suddenly turned upside down, she’s given a chance to start life over with a clean slate.

AMC, the network behind The Walking Dead (and its many spin-offs) and the upcoming Anne Rice-inspired shows Interview with the Vampire and The Mayfair Witches, has now opened a writers room for a series called Seconds, which Deadline hears is a “radical reimagining” of the 1960s sci-fi horror story. Seconds originated with a novel written by David Ely (pick up a copy Here), and in 1966 Ely’s story was brought to the screen with a film that was directed by John Frankenheimer and stars Rock Hudson. You can watch the film Seconds, which is in the Library of Congress’s National Film Registry selection, at This Link.

Exclusive: AMC Networks has identified its next two strong series contenders. The company is opening writers’ rooms for Seconds, a radical reimagining of the cult classic with a female lead at its center, and psychological horror story The Devil In Silver, envisioned as the first installment in a potential anthology franchise.
The projects both hail from creative auspices behind cult AMC drama Halt and Catch Fire and are part of AMC Networks’ focus on producing premium content targeting adults for AMC+, some of it with a genre bent, which is the case with the two new horror-themed prospects. They are being developed under AMC Networks’ established “scripts-to-series” model, which involves opening writers’ rooms to develop prospective shows, including generating multiple scripts, for straight-to-series consideration. The two projects, for which AMC commissioned writers rooms last year, Invitation to a Bonfire and Demascus, both went to series.
