Popular graphic novel The Witch Boy is being adapted for a Netflix musical.
Celebrated graphic novel The Witch Boy is set to be adapted into an animated movie musical for Netflix.
The graphic novel, written by Molly Knox Ostertag, is set in a world where girls become witches and boys become shapeshifters, with those who defy this order getting exiled from society.
The series follows 13-year-old Aster, a male who has not yet shapeshifted and is fascinated by witches. When a danger threatens other boys, Aster knows he can help, but only as a witch, and he receives support from a non-magical and non-conforming friend, Charlie.
The synopsis for the Netflix adaptation confirms that it will follow this magical story, as it states: “In a secret, magical community where girls are born to be witches and boys grow into shapeshifters, Aster is surprised to discover his emerging and extraordinary witch powers.
“When a mysterious danger threatens his world, Aster must embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind himself, his powers, and everything that is magical.”
The film is set to be directed by Oscar-nominated director Minkyu Lee (Adam and Dog), while Maria Melnick (Escape Room series) will be writing the script.
