AMC/EW

Who: Jami O'Brien (creator); Ashleigh Cummings, Zachary Quinto, Ebon Moss-Bachrach

What: An adaption of Joe Hill's novel of the same name, NOS4A2 follows "Vic McQueen, a young working-class artist who discovers that she has a supernatural ability to track the seemingly immortal Charlie Manx. Manx feeds off the souls of children, then deposits what remains of them into Christmasland — a twisted Christmas Village of Manx’s imagination where every day is Christmas Day and unhappiness is against the law.

Why: I repeat: "a twisted Christmas Village of Manx’s imagination where every day is Christmas Day." The book, and thus the show, has a great idea behind it that helps make its story and characters so fascinating and vivid, which will hopefully translate to the screen adaptation.

Where & When: AMC, TBC
