IM Global Television & IDW Co-Developing Action Drama

LOS ANGELES: IM Global Television and IDW Entertainment are working together on the action drama LD50, which the two will co-develop and co-produce.

LD50 is a character-driven drama set in a world where a virus has decimated the male population and created a tenuous balance between a small pocket of healthy people and the infected women who surround them. The series was created by Scott Dacko, who will also executive produce and write the script.

IDW Publishing will publish comic books based on the story to be released in summer 2017.

IM Global Television’s president, Mark Stern, said: “Given our similarities in taste and the complementary nature of our businesses, David Ozer and I have been looking for something to work on together for a while. I couldn’t be happier to partner with them on LD50. Hopefully, it will be the first of many more to come!”

“We are thrilled to be in business with IM Global,” said IDW Entertainment’s president, David Ozer. “Their continued aggressive growth into the television business coupled with great creative on LD50 made this a very easy decision.”

“IM Global and IDW both have business models that complement each other well,” adds IDW Publishing’s CEO and publisher, Ted Adams. “Scott Dacko has created an incredible world in LD50 that will make for a fantastic comic and television series.”
