As reported by Deadline, Sony Pictures Television is developing a series based on the Black Mask Studios comic book DESTINY, NY, to be produced by Platinum recording artists Tegan & Sara, Co-Creators and Executive Producers of the Amazon Studios series HIGH SCHOOL.
The characters and concepts first appear in Destiny Ny #1

Tegan and Sara Quin will executive produce alongside Black Mask’s Matteo Pizzolo and Brian Giberson; Shand will serve as consulting producer. The search for a writer is underway.
The series and the comics follow Logan, a “prophecy kid” who grew up attending the elite New York City boarding school Destiny, NY for children with magical prophecies. At 12 years old, she faced a cataclysmic crisis and rescued the entire planet… but hardly anyone knows what she did and since then she’s been directionless. There’s no prophecy for what Logan is supposed to do with the rest of her life, as she faces a midlife crisis despite being in her 20s. But when Logan falls for Lilith, the estranged daughter of a mystical crime family, their new love jeopardizes the entire school.
Sony Pictures Television teases that Destiny, NY is “a grounded story about the magic of young adulthood, star-crossed modern romance, delayed coming of age, and finding your place in a world too busy to notice you.”
Tegan and Sara most recently co-created and executive produced the coming-of-age drama High School for Amazon’s FreeVee, based on their memoir of the same name. Up next, the Grammy-nominated duo will release the series Junior High next month.
