Michael Buckner/Variety MGM+ has greenlit the horror investigation series “The Black Tapes,” with “Game of Thrones” alum Nikolaj Coster-Waldau attached to star in the lead role.
The eight-episode series is based on the hit podcast of the same name created by Terry Miles and Paul Bae, which originally debuted in 2015 and has over 60 million downloads. It will begin production in Vancouver in January.
The official logline states, “Dr. Richard Strand (Coster-Waldau), a brilliant psychiatrist with a mysterious past, teams with the obsessed, relentless scientist Alex Regan to debunk paranormal cases of hauntings, possessions, disappearances, and sinister legends – the infamous black tapes. But as Strand and Regan unravel the secrets of these events, they uncover a hidden occult world behind our own and must unravel a centuries-old apocalyptic conspiracy.”
