The Crooked Man
for The Crooked Man in The Wolf Among Us Live Action TV Series HBO MAX
Suggested by thewantedraccoon
The Wolf Among Us is, undoubtedly, one of my absolute most favourite games of all time, and, in my opinion, easily the best thing TellTale Games has ever done. It's a brilliant game in every regard. Thus, with it having such incredible writing and a masterfully developed storyline, I naturally think it would have some seriously extraordinary potential if it were to be adapted into a TV series, or even a mini series of some kind. With The Wolf Among Us being owned by Warner Bros, and the game itself being adapted from The Fables series by Bill Willingham, a series of graphic novels published by Vertigo, a subsidiary of DC Comics, a hypothetical TV series based on the game, and by extension the comics it was adapted from, would most likely be made exclusively for HBO MAX. Also, if it were up to me I'd put Bryan Fuller and Michael Green, the developers of American Gods, in charge of the production, given the fact that American Gods generally has a lot of similar thematic vibes to The Wolf Among Us, at least in my view anyway. Right, I've been droning on about this long enough, let's get down to business here, shall we? Here's my ideal cast for the characters of a potential TV series adaptation of Fables and The Wolf Among Us Note: I do intend to come back to this at a later date and cast the new characters to be introduced in the upcoming, long awaited second season of the game, so stay tuned for that
