Cancelled television adaptation
In November 2018, a television series based on Survivors' Club was in development at The CW from Warner Bros. Television. Jared Frieder and Len Goldstein were attached to the potential drama series as executive producers, with the former also set to write the pilot script. The longline for the project read:
"In a world where horror franchise monsters are real, twins Jason and Jennifer barely survived a demonic childhood possession that claimed their mother's life and fractured their bond. Ten years later, when a new evil force awakens, the siblings join forces with other teen survivors to combat the literal and metaphorical monsters that haunt them".
The script was not picked up to pilot by The CW for the 2019–2020 television season and no further development updates have been announced.
