Rob Guillory’s follow up book to Chew, Farmhand is in development at AMC.
The characters and concepts for this adaptation first appear in Farmhand #1
Bestselling comic book series Farmhand, created and illustrated by Rob Guillory, has been optioned for television development by AMC/AMC Studios. Guillory is set to write the pilot for the series and will executive produce alongside LaToya Morgan (The Walking Dead, Into the Badlands).
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to bring Farmhand to AMC,” said Guillory. “I knew if I was ever going to adapt Farmhand, I’d need partners whose bold vision preserved and complemented my own, and I’ve found that with LaToya Morgan and the fine folks at AMC. Their enthusiasm for this project has been absolutely infectious, and I think together we’re going to make a show that is very unique and very special.”
Farmhand follows Jedidiah Jenkins, a simple farmer, but one whose cash crop isn’t corn or soy. He grows fast-healing, plug-and-play human organs. For years, Jed’s organic transplants have brought healing to many, but deep in the soil of the Jenkins Family Farm something sinister has taken root.
Guillory previously co-created and was the Eisner-award winning artist on the New York Times bestselling series Chew. He is represented by Anonymous Content & Myman Greenspan LLP.

*glances over at his stack of Grass Kings #1* “… one day.”
One day when my life has passed me by I sit alone and wonder why Grass Kings was never optioned.
Grass Kings was an awesome read.
Hell yeah it was.
I read the first few issues and loved it. It’s one of those books I”m waiting until it’s all done and ready in a nice big hardcover to read it in its entirety.
I’m ready when Black Badge gets optioned as well.
another good one
Yes! Rob is the man. Love his art!
Still waiting for that CHEW TV show/Cartoon to happen…
Don’t hold your breath. Rob has said it is dead.
