Barrowman will executive produce and star in the story, based on a comic by author Erika Lewis, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The 49th Key is based on the 16th century legend of Enochian magic, which tells of a secret language of angels, according to THR.
The first chapter centers on a rogue archeologist and a young autistic and mute boy on a journey through England to bring the boy home. The boy turns out to be the key to a gateway between our world and that of Enochia, a magical society that exists below the Earth’s surface, filled with fantasy creatures.
We’re guessing “Rogue archaeologist” is something plenty of people have on their John Barrowman roles Bingo card.
