Another manga and anime series is getting ready to make the leap to live-action. According to Variety, this time it’s writer Kaiu Shirai and illustrator Posuka Demizu’s The Promised Neverland, which now has a live-action series adaptation in the works at Amazon.

Other executive producers include Masi Oka (Heroes, producer on live-action Death Note and upcoming Mega Man and Attack on Titan adaptations), Roy Lee, and Miri Yoon. Fox 21 Television Studios and Amazon Studios are teaming up on the production.
