Amazon<\/a> Studios has just ordered a live-action TV series based on the Paper Girls<\/strong><\/em> comic book series by writer Brian K Vaughan and artist Cliff Chiang.<\/p>\n

The streaming service won the rights to the comic series after a “competitive” bidding situation, according to Deadline<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The project is being produced by Legendary Television and Plan B (Moonlight<\/strong><\/em>, 12 Years A Slave<\/strong><\/em>), and has already received a series commitment from Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The comic book series is published by Image Comics, and first hit shelves in October 2015.<\/p>\n

Set in Stony Stream, a fictional suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, Paper Girls<\/strong><\/em> follows the story of four 12-year-old newspaper delivery girls: Erin, MacKenzie, KJ and Tiffany. While out delivering papers the morning after Halloween, the girls become caught up in a time traveller conflict when Stony Stream is struck by an invasion from a mysterious force from the future.<\/p>\n

Stephany Folsom, who worked on Toy Story 4<\/strong><\/em>, is set to pen the series’ scripts, and will executive produce alongside Vaughan and Plan B. The series is part of Vaughan’s multi-year overall deal with Legendary Entertainment.<\/p>\n
