The comic was written by Joëlle Jones and Jamie S. Rich, with Jones, who made a splash writing and drawing Catwoman for DC, supplying the art. Jones was inspired by 1950s advertisements to build a story set in that period and focused on a picture-perfect housewife who just happens to lead a secret life as a deadly killer for hire.

“Lady Killer” first hit issue was released in 2015 and even won an Eisner Award for best-limited series in 2016.

Netflix has a first-look deal with Dark Horse Entertainment and has previously collaborated on the action-comedy series “Umbrella Academy” and Jonas Åkerlund’s feature “Polar.”
