In that, “13-year-old Harold decides to explore the long-abandoned farm of the late Raymond Brenner, and finds that he’s got a new Companion: a murderous, indestructible scarecrow.

The first episode to go in front of cameras would be “Survivor Type”, based on the Stephen King story in which a man, shipwrecked on a desert island, reflects on his life and does the unthinkable in order to survive. Greg Nicotero is directing the adaptation.

Comedy writer-director Rob Schrab (Monster House, “Workaholics”, “The Sarah Silverman Program”, “Community”) will be directing at least one episode, titled “Bad Wolf Down”. In it, “A group of World War II American soldiers, pinned down by a Nazi unit, resort to unholy and supernatural means to avoid capture, torture, and death.
