The Vertigo comic Exterminators is heading to the small screen. Showtime and Dexter executive producer Sara Colleton plans to bring the title to the cable network. But don’t expect the series to be a perfect adaptation.
In its Showtime incarnation, “Exterminators” will revolve around the Bug-Be-Gone crew, an extended dysfunctional family of exterminators whose greatest enemies aren’t the insects and rodents they meet and kill on a daily basis but rather their own self doubts, vices and inner demons.
Is Exterminators something that can be easily adaptated, or are the themes and special effects too much for subscriber cable?
