Nights, the critically acclaimed comic book series created by Wyatt Kennedy (Bolero) and illustrated by Luigi Formisano, is being developed into an animated television series by Titmouse, the award-winning animation studio recognized for pushing creative boundaries with successful projects like Big Mouth and The Legend of Vox Machina. Published by Image Comics, Nights is a supernatural coming-of-age story focused on a group of friends as they navigate life, relationships, and mysterious paranormal events. The adaptation will be produced in collaboration with Kennedy and Formisano, bringing their unique vision to life through Titmouse’s renowned animation style expertise. Alexei Bochenek, Creative Director at Titmouse, said:
“Nights isn’t the type of comic you read and say ‘oh neat, cool art, good story’ and then put back on the shelf with all the other comics that have cool art and good stories. Nights is a generational experience in the making. Reading it reminds me of when I used to stay up late watching FLCL at midnight on Toonami, having my mind blown not just by how dynamic it was, but by how seen it made me feel, a mirror to my whole self, good and bad, dreams and fears. If you know you know. I want to bring that feeling back to the animation fans like me who have been chasing it ever since, and introduce a whole new audience to the experience of discovering themselves through a new show that they feel seen by and become huge champions of, too. That’s what Nights is.”
The animated series promises to remain faithful to the comic book’s unique artistic style and storytelling while introducing audiences to new layers of depth and imagination. The setting evokes nostalgia and dreaminess, where monsters and vampires come to life, and the vibes of the late ‘90s and early 2000s are incredibly strong. With a cinematic blend of indie and anime influences that are beautiful, colorful, and contemporary, the animated series will offer both frights and emotional moments, much like the comic book
