Archaia’s Butterfly Picked up by Channel 4

Butterfly_001_coverArchaia and BOOM! Studios have announced that Butterfly has been picked up by Channel 4 as a television series. Butterfly was written by Arash Amel (who created the series) and Marguerite Bennett and art by Antonio Fuso and Stefano Simeone.

The pilot will be directed by Bo Odar, and Amel will write the series as well as executive produce is.

Butterfly is one of Project Delta’s deep cover agents—no birth certificate, no social security number, a complete ghost. When her cover is blown and she’s set up for a murder she didn’t commit, she is unknowingly led to her father’s doorstep, a man she thought died 20 years ago. Trained to trust nothing and no one, Butterfly must decide whether to seek answers with the Project, or believe the man who betrayed her years ago.

This is the latest series for BOOM! to head to television. The company has sold Protocol: Orphans to Fox Broadcasting Company and  20th Century Fox TV (they have a first look deal with them), The Woods to Universal Cable Productions, and Cow Boy to Dreamworks Animation TV.
