Writer Rick Remender is also known for his work on Uncanny X-Force and Deadly Class. He also served as the showrunner on the television adaptation of Deadly Class. The artwork for the comics was created by Tony Moore and Jerome Opena. The original comics were critically acclaimed. As early as 2009, Universal Pictures was working on creating a movie adaptation of the series, but it never came to fruition.
The team behind the show are planning to maintain the offbeat tone of the comics. This seems to be in line with the logline that was provided: “Interstellar invaders. Time travel. Clones of clones of clones, and lots of whiskey. Whether he’s battling the scourge of space, going back in time to stop the alien invasion that changed earth forever, or winning his ex-wife back, there’s nothing that Heath Huston won’t do to try to right the wrongs and gets his family back. He is, after all, the last Fear Agent.”
Fear Agent has a ton of talent and experience backing the project. Rogen has already helped create a successful time travel-based series, with Future Man having finished its second season last year. Interest in Fear Agent has also been very high, stretching back as far as 2009. Hopefully, Fear Agent will fair better than Remender’s other television adaptation, Deadly Class, which was cancelled after its freshman season. Based on the source material, plus the inclusion of Shazam!’s Sandberg, the show is sure to be wacky, and Rogen is no stranger to that concept.
