Being Human Creator Toby Whithouse Developing Superhero Series
According to Broadcast magazine, Being Human creator Toby Whithouse and producer Matthew Bouch have started their own production company, with six series in development — including a superhero show.
Their new company is called Soundrel. In an interview with the magazine, Bouch explained, "In the process of doing Being Human, we discovered our sensibilities are very similar. They are very unorthodox in a way, certainly in the combinations of genres that we use. We needed to set up on our own so we could enjoy that freedom, and the spoils of our labor."
Whithouse added that the choice of financial backer will be done carefully, as "We don't want to get into the position where, for the sake of money up front, we are surrendering our creative freedom."
Says Broadcast, "Orphans is being lined up as a 6 x 60-minute series for BBC1 and aims to do for superheroes what Being Human did for werewolves and vampires. It will follow a 'disparate' group of superheroes who live in a world that appears like our own, but is gradually revealed to be quite different."
