20 Most Exciting TV Shows Currently In Development

20. Thief Of Thieves

AMC have had ridiculously huge success with The Walking Dead, so it makes sense that they'd want to further mine Robert Kirkman's comic bibliography for potential TV shows.

The one they've identified is Thief of Thieves. The story centres on Conrad Paulson, a skilled and successful thief who quits the business, choosing instead to start a new life stealing from other thieves.

The comic has had a positive - if not overwhelmingly so - reception since its 2012 debut, but the TV show hasn't progressed too much since then. Announced around the same time as the print release, there's no word yet on when we might expect the series (though The Walking Dead's recent ratings slump might make AMC execs think about pushing some new blood into their line-up).

However, Kirkman said in an AMA just last year that it was still happening, so I guess we'll all have to be patient.
