News: CW Developing Clive Barker's "Weaveworld"

by Ken Miyamoto on September 22, 2015

The CW is currently developing Weaveworld, an adaptation of the 1987 horror/fantasy novel by Hellraiser creator Clive Barker.

The show will be a contemporary makeover to the premise of the novel. In the TV adaptation, an app designer teams up with a young pastry chef who has just discovered that she is destined to be guardian of a mythological realm that can be accessed through a portal in an old Savannah mansion. Together, they fight an epic battle with evil forces who are vying for control of the magical world.

There have been multiple attempts to adapt Weaveworld as a miniseries over the last twenty years. Showtime had an attempt as well. Weaveworld had been considered too difficult to adapt for TV because of its scope and settings that would require extensive use of special effects. 

Clive Barker is set to executive produce with Jack Kenny (Warehouse 13) co-executive producing and writing.
