Syfy's 'Deadly Class' Enrolls Chicago P.D.'s Mick Betancourt as Co-Showrunner, EP
With their adaptation of Rick Remender and Wes Craig's critically acclaimed Image Comics graphic novel series Deadly Class set to open its doors for enrollment in 2019, Syfy has announced that Chicago P.D.'s Mick Betancourt is transferring onto the project as both co-showrunner and executive producer. Adapted for television by Remender and Miles Orion Feldsott (American Koko), Deadly Class is spearheaded by Avengers: Infinity War's directors Joe and Anthony Russo, Sony Pictures TV and Universal Cable Productions.
Having previously served as co-executive producer on Fox's Shots Fired; and writer/co-producer on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Betancourt will share both executive producer and showrunner responsibilities with Remender and Feldsott. He will be replacing Banshee's Adam Targum, who served in the same capacity on the series pilot.
Deadly Class is a coming-of-age journey full of ancient mystery and teen angst. Set in a dark, comic book world against the backdrop of late 80s counter culture, it follows a homeless teen recruited into a storied elite private school where the world's top crime families send their next generations. Maintaining his moral code while surviving a ruthless curriculum, vicious social cliques and his own adolescent uncertainties soon proves to be vital.
Benedict Wong (Avengers: Infinity War) is set for the series regular role of Master Lin, the headmaster of the School for the Deadly Arts. Deadly and feared. He's an ever-changing chameleon who keeps his students desperate for his approval.
Benjamin Wadsworth (Teen Wolf) will play Marcus. At one point we were all Marcus, an awkward outcast full of social anxiety struggling to find his place in the cold and brutal world of high school. Marcus is bottled rage, if his life had been normal this kid might have been an artist, even a poet. Instead he's had to survive life on the streets of San Francisco. His eyes show it. He's morally centered in an unethical world.
Lana Condor (X-Men: Apocalypse) will play Saya, mysterious and guarded with a deadly reputation. Saya was banished from one of the top Yakuza clans in Japan, sent to the School for the Deadly Arts to redeem herself. Driven to be the valedictorian, nothing will stand in her way.
Maria Gabriela de Faria (Sitiados) is set for Maria. One minute Maria's an extrovert and an exhibitionist, a tornado of ever changing emotions — fierce, charming, beautiful and oozing femininity — the next she's murderous, feral, and crippled by rage. At the School for the Deadly Arts her instability is treated like a super power.
Luke Tennie (Shock and Awe) will play Willie, a hardened gangster, but underneath is an honest and thoughtful person who would rather be reading comic books and listening to music than engaging in blood work. Forced by his mother, leader of an LA gang, into the School for the Deadly Arts, he is under endless pressure to become the thing he hates most.
Liam James (The Family) is set to play Billy, skater punk, son of a corrupt cop and now a misfit at the school. He's off kilter and high energy. Billy combats every situation with sarcasm and humor. Always a glimmer of mischief in his eye.
Michel Duval (Queen of the South) will play Chico, scary, muscular, son of a cartel drug lord. Everyone knows not to mess with Chico. The only one who can hurt him is his girlfriend.
In addition, Deadly Class includes: Henry Rollins (Sons of Anarchy) as Jürgen Denke; Taylor Hickson (Aftermath) as Petra; Siobhan Williams (UnREAL) as Brandy; Jack Gillett (Storker) as Viktor; Sean Depner (Last Night in Suburbia) as Lex; and Ryan Robbins (Pure) as Rory.
