Deadline reveals that Benderspink and Roddenberry Entertainment will team up to develop the critically acclaimed graphic novel series,
Days Missing, for television and film. The series is described as an an accounting of extraordinary 24-hour periods of time that have changed the course of humanity’s evolution, but have been erased from human memory by a mystical and ancient being known as The Steward. These "days missing," recorded in the annals of The Steward’s library, represent a lost human history that explains much more about who we are than we ever knew.
"We see this as such a strong concept that it could be done as a television show and feature trilogy at the same time," Benderspink's Co-Founder JC Spink said of the decision to bring the graphic novel to both the big and small screens.
Benderspink is a team of creative professionals who really understand Roddenberry’s brand of science fiction and the potential of this property," added Trevor Roth,
Days Missing creator and head of development for Roddenberry Entertainment.
"This partnership plans on doing more than just adapting a comic book story—we want to use television and film to expand the Days Missing universe."
Days Missing is the first in a series of graphic novels, with

Days Missing: Enox set to be released later this year. Are you interested in this adaptation? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.
