Fairground Aligns with Rogue Matter for Comic-Book Adaptations

Rogue Matter has clinched a deal that will see Fairground Entertainment developing AI-powered adaptations of its slate of graphic novels and comic books.

The inaugural slate includes episodic TV shows based on Rogue Matter’s Ketcher: Origins, Don’t Tell My Wife I’m a Cult Leader and The Time Trader, with options to pursue additional IP. Fairground Entertainment is an AI studio and streaming distribution network founded by former Xumo chief Colin Petrie-Norris.

“Fairground and Rogue Matter are cut from similar DNA—both innovators who are focused on elevating next-generation creators for unique and breakthrough storytelling,” said Petrie-Norris, founder and CEO of Fairground Entertainment. “Together, we will expand an audience of devoted fans to include mainstream consumers, and leverage AI to further bolster these dynamic properties with cutting-edge technology and global streaming distribution.”

“As digital change-makers focused on vibrant and original storytelling that’s centered on breakthrough comic books and graphic novel properties, our collaboration with Fairground is ideal,” said Trent Olsen, editor-in-chief at Rogue Matter. “We are constantly pushing boundaries in entertainment, and bringing fan favorites like Ketcher and others to new and broader audiences, supercharged by the power of AI, is in perfect alignment with our disruptive mission.”
