The first season will be based around the first installment, while subsequent seasons, if ordered, will focus on the other installments, Ginger Snaps 2: Unleashed and Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning.
TV writer Anna Ssemuyaba has been announced to write the TV series adaptation. Ssemuyaba has written on shows like Guerilla, and most recently Amazon’s Upload.
