Titmouse, the award-winning animation studio known for pushing creative boundaries, will develop an animated series based on Nights, the hit comic book written by Wyatt Kennedy with art by Luigi Formisano.
Published by Image Comics, Nights is a supernatural coming-of-age story centered around a group of friends navigating life, relationships and mysterious paranormal events. The adaptation will be produced in collaboration with Kennedy and Formisano.
“Nights isn’t the type of comic you read and say, ‘Oh neat, cool art, good story,’ and then put back on the shelf with all the other comics that have cool art and good stories. Nights is a generational experience in the making,” said Alexei Bochenek, Creative Director at Titmouse. “Reading it reminds me of when I used to stay up late watching FLCL at midnight on Toonami, having my mind blown not just by how dynamic it was, but by how seen it made me feel, a mirror to my whole self, good and bad, dreams and fears. If you know you know. I want to bring that feeling back to the animation fans like me who have been chasing it ever since, and introduce a whole new audience to the experience of discovering themselves through a new show that they feel seen by and become huge champions of, too. That’s what Nights is.”
“It’s unbelievable to think that the incredibly talented people behind some of my favorite shows are now bringing Nights to life,” said Formisano. “As a fan of Titmouse’s works for years, it’s a dream come true. It’s a huge honor to work with a team who loves this story as much as Wyatt and I do, and I can’t wait for fans to see what we create together.”
The animated series producers aim to stay true to the comic book’s distinctive artistic style and storytelling, while introducing audiences to new layers of depth and imagination in the world of Nights — a nostalgic and dreamlike place, where monsters and vampires are real, and the late ‘90s and early 2000s vibes are off the charts. Titmouse pitches a cinematic blend of indie and anime influences that will be beautiful, colorful and contemporary, delivering both frights and feels in much the same vein as the original comics.
The Nights comic book series launched at Image Comics in 2024 to critical acclaim, with the first 12-issue story arc titled, “Season One.” Nights Vol. 1 which collects “Part One” of the series, Nights #1-6, is available now at comic-book shops, independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo and Waterstones, and across many digital platforms.
