A television series based on Jonathan Glazer’s 2014 film Under the Skin is currently in the works.
The TV series, which has been in the works for years, is in a bidding war between reigning film gods A24 (Midsommar, Uncut Gems, and more), which is working with Glazer on his upcoming film, and Silver Reel, which produced the original movie starring Scarlett Johansson.
Based loosely on a 2000 science fiction novel by Michael Faber, Under the Skin is set in northern Scotland and follows an extraterrestrial being (played by Johansson) who drives around the Scottish countryside, preying on men who she delivers to her home planet via a rather creepy black void.
Many of the film’s cast were non-actors, and most of the scenes were filmed with hidden cameras to give a realistic, hidden appearance. It’s soundtracked to a spellbinding score by Mica Levi too, which bangs.
It’s currently unclear what Glazer’s involvement will be , as well as what story the series will tell, but we’re ready.
