Greg Berlanti Gets ‘Stillwater’ Series Order At Amazon, Sets ‘Foster
Dade’ At Hulu & Eyes Max Series In Return To TV Writing (April 28)

https://deadline.com/2025/04/greg-berlanti-stillwater-amazon-foster-dade-hulu-max-series-1236375987/

["In a bidding war, Amazon has landed mind-bending horror thriller
'Stillwater,' based on the Skybound comic book series by Chip Zdarsky
and Ramon K. Perez, with a series order. ... Hulu had bought spec
script 'Foster Dade,' written by Berlanti and Bash Doran (Life After
Life), which is being fast-tracked for a pilot order, sources said. It
is based on the 2023 novel 'Foster Dade Explores the Cosmos' by Nash
Jenkins, a mystery set in a boarding school. Details are sketchy on the
third project, which is still in negotiations at Max, I hear. It is
believed to be a family drama, which is intended to follow the 15
episodes a year at a reasonable budget model established by another WBTV
drama series for the streamer, 'The Pitt.']

Ooooooo I hope that a) this series is produced, b) that they
don't screw it up, and c) it's shown someplace that I can
actually *see* it (or can buy it on DVD).

The books were excellent! The only thing that bummed me out
about them is that Philip Kerr died before a book that
gave Bernie a proper ending (living happily ever after or
not).

I highly recommend the books to anyone interested in the
history of that era and/or very good mysteries.

Nyssa, who hasn't been this excited about a possible TV
show or movie in a looooong time

write-up in a

:)

I *really* liked the Bernie book series!

I used to talk about the books with my neighbor (who is German)
and made her laugh with all of the old slang that Kerr included
in the stories. Some of it she didn't know, and others she
remembered her father saying when she was a young'un.

The details about the history and Berlin (as well as other
cities and countries Bernie hid out in) was like catnip to
me and the mysteries themselves were well-plotted.

I'm hoping Volker Kutscher's Inspector Gereon Rath seroes set
around the same timeline are anywhere near as good. I'm waiting
to start those until I can collect the entire series and
binge them as time permits.

Thanks Robin! Your news clip made my morning!

Nyssa, who is more excited about this news than she is
about how the Stanley Cup plaoffs are going (her team is
probably going to be eliminated on Wednesday night)
