Deadline reports that Stephen Graham (Boardwalk Empire, This Is England, Snatch) will play the lead in USA Network’s small-screen adaptation of IDW Publishing comic series, Brooklyn Animal Control.
Created by J.T. Petty, the story deals with a of a group of officers assigned to a highly secret subdivision of the NYPD that functions as social services for the city’s werewolf population. Graham will play Officer John Crean, who will serve as “cop, counselor and diplomat” for the small community of lycanthropes he's on good terms with - but “when backed against a wall, he will buck tradition and risk everything to protect his miscreant son.”
Game Of Thrones director Brian Kirk will helm the pilot, and will also executive produce alongside David S. Goyer. Brooklyn Animal Control doesn't have a premiere date yet.
