Netflix is still trying to make Death Note, again.
You’d think that disappointing viewers with its 2017 movie adaptation would be enough, but no, as previously reported, Netflix is working on another live-action adaptation of Death Note.
This one is planned as a TV series made by the production company of Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, and now Deadline reports they’ve found a writer and EP, Halia Abdel-Meguid.
A longtime fan of the manga and anime series, Abdel-Meguid — who speaks fluent Japanese and has previously lived in Tokyo — is taking on Death Note having worked with the Duffers on another Upside Down Pictures development project for Netflix. She is a writing consultant on their series adaptation of Stephen King and Peter Straub’s novel The Talisman.
