About this episode
The popular Image Comics series Chew is officially being adapted into a live-action television show by production companies Blumhouse and Atomic Monster. Co-creator Rob Guillory confirmed that the legal arrangements are complete, marking a new chapter for the franchise after years of unsuccessful adaptation attempts. The story centers on Tony Chu, a federal agent who experiences psychic visions triggered by the food he consumes. Previous projects, including a star-studded animated film featuring voices like Robin Williams and David Tennant, were ultimately cancelled before release. This latest announcement provides fans with renewed optimism that the award-winning comic will finally successfully transition to the screen.
