‘Nights’ Animated TV Series in the Works from Comic Book Creators

Image Comics has announced that a Nights animated adaptation is coming from creators Wyatt Kennedy and Luigi Formisano!

In some exciting news, Image Comics has revealed a new TV foray with “Nights,” in a collaboration with Big Mouth company Titmouse. Original creators of the comic, Wyatt Kennedy and Luigi Formisano, are involved in the project.

“Nights” is a supernatural coming-of-age story. It takes place in an alternate 2003, where supernatural creatures coexist with humans, and America is made up of just 31 states. The comic launched in 2023 to great critical success. It’s entered 2025 stronger than ever, with the first major story arc concluding with an over-sized issue #12, which released on January 15.

Currently, there’s not many details about the animated adaptation, but Titmouse director, Alexei Bochenek, rhapsodised about his love for the comic, and his excitement to see it come to life in another medium:

“Nights isn’t the type of comic you read and say ‘oh neat, cool art, good story’ and then put back on the shelf with all the other comics that have cool art and good stories. Nights is a generational experience in the making. Reading it reminds me of when I used to stay up late watching FLCL at midnight on Toonami, having my mind blown not just by how dynamic it was, but by how seen it made me feel, a mirror to my whole self, good and bad, dreams and fears. If you know you know. I want to bring that feeling back to the animation fans like me who have been chasing it ever since, and introduce a whole new audience to the experience of discovering themselves through a new show that they feel seen by and become huge champions of, too. That’s what Nights is.”

In addition, writer Wyatt Kennedy explained why an adaptation felt right, especially as an animated series:

“Despite so many live-action comic translations, I never envisioned Nights being adapted any other way than as an animated series. Luigi’s and my love of animation is baked into the very fiber of the book, and having the legendary, incredibly talented team at Titmouse help bring it to life is mind-blowing. From our earliest conversations, Alexei and his team immediately understood the soul of our strange little story, and their passionate collaborative spirit leaves me confident that we’re crafting something that fans of the book and newcomers alike will love.”

The Nights series is still in early days of development. We’ll let you know how things progress. In the meantime, adaptations aside, Kennedy and Luigi Formisano will also launch the comic’s second story arc later this month.
