The 2000 Canadian horror film that spawned two sequels telling a darkly comic tale of teenage sisterhood is getting the TV treatment from Killing Eve producer Sid Gentle Films. John Fawcett, who directed and co-wrote the original film and who went on to co-create Orphan Black, will serve as executive producer. Anna Ssemuyaba will write the potential Ginger Snaps TV series, "which tells the story of sisters, Ginger and Brigette, who are self-imposed outcasts in their hometown," per Deadline. "Inseparable and fascinated with the macabre, they make a pact to escape their sleepy suburban home by sixteen or else take their own lives. But on the night of her first period, Ginger is attacked and infected by a werewolf which unleashes a monstrous kind of puberty. Brigette can’t understand this new version of her sister who is violent and sexual. As a bloody trail begins to form in Ginger’s wake, Brigette must find a way to curb her sister’s new cravings or risk losing her forever."
