Clive Barker’s WEAVEWORLD TV Series Still in the Works at The CW

The Seerkind are still set to appear on The CW in an onscreen adaptation of Clive Barker's Weaveworld, although the network will be making some changes with the project by bringing in a new writer to work on a different adaptation of Barker's 1987 book.

Deadline reports the recent news regarding the Weaveworld TV series, which will receive a makeover from a yet-to-be-named writer. As previously planned, Clive Barker will executive produce the series with Angela Mancuso for CBS TV Studios.

The CW's planned modern retelling of Barker's 1980s-set book was going to focus on a modern day app designer and a "a young pastry chef who has just discovered that she is destined to be guardian of a mythological realm that can be accessed through a portal in an old Savannah mansion."

There's currently no telling how much—if any—of the original adaptation will survive in the new draft, but we'll keep Daily Dead readers updated on future details. In the meantime, for those unfamiliar with Weaveworld, we have the book's official synopsis.

From Goodreads: "Barker turns from his usual horror to epic-length fantasy for this account of the Fugue, a magical land inhabited by descendants of supernatural beings who once shared the earth with humans. The Fugue has been woven into a carpet for protection against those who would destroy it; the death of its guardian occasions a battle between good and particularly repulsive evil forces for control of the Fugue. Weaveworld is rich with memorable characters, exciting situations, and pockets of Barker's trademark horror."
