This news comes to us via Deadline, which reports that Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s Kilter Films are working with Craig Macneill and Clay Chapman to develop Unknown, a psychological horror anthology series that “plunges into the corners of the American landscape, probing the intersection of folklore and our bloody history of true crime,” with the first season “centered around an estranged brother and sister, who return to the Texas Killing Fields, only to encounter a dark spirit that inhabits the region from their childhood.”
The Texas Killing Fields, for those who are unaware, is an area bordering the Calder Oil Field, which is a 25-acre patch of land situated a mile from Interstate Highway 45. Since the 1970s, at least 30 bodies – mostly young girls and women between the ages of 12–25 years – have been found in the area. Very few of the murders have been solved, and the common belief is that they’re the work of multiple serial killers. In other words, it’s a very good setting for a horror story.
