The show will be written and produced by Teen Wolf showrunner Jeff Davis, with Walking Dead’s Gale Anne Hurd producing, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Made popular on MTV in 1991, the original animated Aeon Flux series followed the adventures of an assassin in the year 7698 after environmental collapse kills most of the world off except for those who live in two border cities, one a police state and the other an anarchist society.
This isn’t the first time Aeon Flux has been given a live-action reboot.
An 2005 Aeon Flux feature film starring Charlize Theron as the lead got panned by critics, and bombed, grossing $52.3 million worldwide, ironically with Hurd producing as well.
No specific details about the cast, plot or release date have been announced yet.
