Susan McCauley’s ‘Ghost Hunters’ Books In The Works As TV Series After Bob Yari’s Magenta Light Studios Strikes First-Look Deal With Yasmine Golchan

EXCLUSIVE: Magenta Light Studios, the company founded by Yellowstone and Landman executive producer Bob Yari, has struck a first-look deal with producer Yasmine Golchan and has set its first project.

Magenta Light and Golchan are developing a series adaptation of Susan McCauley’s Ghost Hunters novels. The books are a series of paranormal mysteries following teen psychic Alex and his investigator friends. There are four books in the series: Ghost Hunters: Bones in the Wall, Ghost Hunters: Pirates’ Curse, Ghost Hunters: Spirit Fire and Ghost Hunters: Swamp Witch.

Golchan previously worked with Yari, who has produced movies including Crash and The Illusionist, on The Painted Veil, the 2006 feature starring Edward Norton and Naomi Watts.

It comes as Magenta Light Studios is preparing to release movies including Simon West’s Bride Hard, starring Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp, Anna Chlumsky, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Renny Harlin’s Deep Water, starring Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley later this year.

“We’re happy to be reteaming with Yasmine on such an exciting series and at the opportunity to bring Ghost Hunters to life,” said Yari. “Yasmine is a skilled and creative producer and we look forward to partnering on many projects to come.”

“Bob and I have enjoyed a wonderful artistic collaboration for many years,” added Golchan.  “I’m delighted to continue working with him and the entire Magenta Light Studios team in bringing this series to screen.”
