NEW NETFLIX SERIES "THE MAGIC ORDER" SETS JAMES WAN AND LINDSEY BEER AS EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS, BASED ON THE ORIGINAL STORY BY MARK MILLAR
LINDSEY BEER TO SERVE AS WRITER AND SHOWRUNNER; JAMES WAN TO DIRECT DEBUT EPISODE

· In addition, Wan will direct the debut episode and Lindsey Beer will serve as writer/showrunner for the series.
· Logline: Five families of magicians sworn to protect our world must battle an enemy who's picking them off one by one. By day they live among us as our neighbors, friends and co-workers, but by night they are the sorcerers, magicians and wizards that protect us from the forces of darkness - unless the darkness gets them first.
· Wan will executive produce through his Atomic Monster production company. Michael Clear will also executive produce with Rob Hackett as co-executive producer overseeing for the company.

The first issue of this series was the highest-selling new comic-book launch in almost 20 years and the graphic novel, collecting the first six issues, has just reached stores.
Beer recently wrote the Amblin-esque re-imagination of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Upcoming for Atomic Monster is the next installment in The Conjuring Universe, Annabelle Comes Home and Swamp Thing.
