Best Selling comic book series Farmhand<\/em>, created and illustrated by Rob Guillory, has been optioned for\u00a0television development by AMC\/AMC Studios. Guillory is set to write the pilot for the series and will executive produce alongside LaToya Morgan (The Walking Dead, Into the Badlands<\/em>).<\/p>\n

“I couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to bring\u00a0Farmhand<\/em>\u00a0to AMC,\u201d said Guillory. “I knew if I was ever going to adapt\u00a0Farmhand<\/em>, I\u2019d need partners whose bold vision preserved and complemented my own, and I\u2019ve found that with LaToya Morgan and the fine folks at AMC. Their enthusiasm for this project has been absolutely infectious, and I think together we\u2019re going to make a show that is very unique and very special.”<\/p>\n

Farmhand<\/em>\u00a0follows Jedidiah Jenkins, a simple farmer, but one whose cash crop isn\u2019t corn or soy. He grows fast-healing, plug-and-play human organs. For years, Jed\u2019s organic transplants have brought healing to many, but deep in the soil of the Jenkins Family Farm something sinister has taken root.<\/p>\n

Guillory previously co-created and was the Eisner-award winning artist on the\u00a0New York Times\u00a0<\/em>bestselling series\u00a0Chew<\/em>. He is represented by Anonymous Content & Myman Greenspan LLP.<\/p>\n

The trade paperback of\u00a0Farmhand, Vol. 1<\/em>\u00a0(ISBN: 9781534309852) is available now and\u00a0Farmhand, Vol. 2<\/em>\u00a0(ISBN: 978-1534313323) will be available in September. It can be pre-ordered at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, IndieBound, and Indigo.<\/p>\n
