Robert Kirkman is quickly turning into one of the busiest comic writers out there. According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Walking Dead comic creator - and executive producer of the AMC series based on it - is developing his third drama for television, this time about exorcisms.

The new series, which Kirkman is teaming up with The Walking Dead executive producer David Alpert, Fox International Channels, Skybound, and Circle of Confusion to develop, is based on his upcoming comic series.

The pilot will reportedly center on a man named Kyle Barnes, who has been possessed since he was a child - now an adult, he's attempting to find answers, but ends up discovering a secret that could bring an end of life on earth. So, y'know, he's really under a lot of pressure.

The show doesn't have a greenlight yet, as there's no U.S. network behind it - but we can't imagine that'll be much of an issue once the script is completed, because this is going to be awesome.
