Lighthouse Pictures and Caliber Comics Bring P.I. Jane to TV

Posted on by

Lighthouse Pictures and Caliber Comics have teamed up to develop P.I. Jane, a brand new series based on the popular graphic novel by Lauren Burke, Greg Sorkin, and Tony Maldonado. This marks the first collaboration between the entertainment brands and is the first of many titles in Caliber Comics’ extensive library to be adapted into a television program. With the project in its early development stages, the team is taking meetings with showrunners and looking to add a unique creative voice to the project. 

President of Caliber Comics Eric Reichert will work with Lighthouse Pictures CEO Jamie Goehring and Shawn Williamson, President of Brightlight Pictures.

P.I. Jane follows the chronicles of Jane Day, a millennial temp office worker by day and rookie detective by night. As she finds herself with seemingly mundane cases, Jane straddles the world of reality (showcased in black and white) and her imagination (in vibrant color) as she manifests her internal pop-culture fantasies into existence.
