...Blumhouse has announced that Crooked Highway, Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange, Sinister) and C. Robert Cargill’s (Doctor Strange, Sinister) production company, has signed a first-look television deal! Under the new 2-year deal, the recently formed production company will develop projects for the television company. Sherryl Clark (Cloverfield) has been named President of Production for Crooked Highway.

Crooked Highway has several projects in development with Blumhouse, including the following:

Full Body Burden: Inspired by author Kristen Iversen’s book of the same name, this is the true story of a deadly government secret hidden in plain sight: the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant just outside of Denver, CO.

Midnight Radio: An off-the-grid radio host begins to piece together the connections between various supernatural experiences described by his callers.
​
The Devil’s Detective: A human investigator navigates the intricate bureaucracies of Hell to solve high-profile murder cases amid a populace of angels, demons, and the damned. Based on the novel of the same name by Simon Kurt Unsworth.

Sign me up for all of those!

Said Jason Blum, “I’m thrilled to welcome Scott, Cargill, and Sherryl into the Blumhouse family, to work with us in television...We have had a lot of success collaborating in film, and they’ve brought some great material in to develop that we can’t wait to get in front of fans.”

Crooked Highway is also producing Derrickson’s recently announced, upcoming film The Black Phone, alongside the features team at Blumhouse, for Universal Pictures. The film is based on a short story by Joe Hill that was adapted by Derrickson and Cargill. Earlier this year, Derrickson and Cargill served as executive producers of the film My Valentine, written and directed by Maggie Levin, which was part of Blumhouse Television’s Into the Dark anthology series for Hulu. Crooked Highway will also be producing Levin's Retrograde, a sci-fi time-manipulation thriller.
