The move comes after The Picture Company and Studiocanal reupped their multi-year deal to make a number of films per year. It was brought in by Studiocanal’s Leena Lancashire Iglesias. The Picture Company co-founders Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman will executive produce the series with Studiocanal’s Ron Halpern and Shana Eddy overseeing the production for the studio. The series will blend genre elements with a supernatural family drama spanning multiple generations. But she doesn’t realize just how much the truth will change her. Luna has few memories of her time on the island, but she’ll have to return to find the truth of what happened to her family.
