A supremely unsettling audio fiction podcast, The Black Tapes has been giving horror fans nightmare fuel since it launched in 2015, and now NBC is looking to bring it to life on the small screen.

Deadline reports that a "supernatural drama based on The Black Tapes podcast" is in development at NBC. Entertainment 360 and Universal TV are teaming up with Matthew Arnold (Emerald City, Siberia) and The Black Tapes podcast co-creators Paul Bae and Terry Miles on the project, with the lattermost three writing and executive producing.

According to Deadline, the adaptation "follows a journalist’s investigations into the unexplained supernatural mysteries caught on tape by a skeptical scientist. Each week the two of them embark on a journey exploring the literal and figurative ghosts that haunt them both."

For those unfamiliar with The Black Tapes podcast, you can visit their website for more information, and you can also check out the podcast's official description below. We'll have to wait and see if The Black Tapes podcast adaptation is ordered to series on NBC, and we'll be sure to keep Daily Dead readers updated as more information is revealed.

From The Black Tapes podcast: "The Black Tapes is a bi-weekly podcast from Pacific Northwest Stories and Minnow Beats Whale, and is hosted by Alex Reagan. The Black Tapes is a serialized docudrama about one journalist's search for truth, her enigmatic subject's mysterious past, and the literal and figurative ghosts that haunt them both.
