Based on the Image comic book series by Rick Remender and Wes Craig, Deadly Class is being adapted for television in a new series premiering on Syfy on Wednesday, January 16. We’ve seen the pilot and it certainly does not disappoint! If you’re reading this, you probably have too… which means you should swing by our Deadly Class forum thread to talk about Episode 1!
So what’s next? Syfy has released some promotional photos for the second episode “Noise, Noise, Noise” which you can find below. Enjoy! But first, here’s a short but spoilery description for the episode:
Marcus, dealing with guilt of killing Rory, has a party at Shabnam’s and all the school is invited.

Set in a dark, heightened world against the backdrop of late ‘80s counterculture, “Deadly Class” follows the story of Marcus (Benjamin Wadsworth), a teen living on the streets who is recruited into Kings Dominion, an elite private academy where the world’s top crime families send their next generations. Maintaining his moral code while surviving a ruthless curriculum, vicious social cliques and his own adolescent uncertainties soon proves to be vital. Based on the best-selling 2014 Image Comics graphic novel by Rick Remender and Wes Craig, DEADLY CLASS is a coming-of-age journey full of ancient mystery and teen angst.
“Deadly Class” stars Benjamin Wadsworth, Benedict Wong, Lana Condor, María Gabriela de Faría, Luke Tennie, Liam James and Michel Duval.
From Sony Pictures Television and Universal Cable Productions, “Deadly Class” was adapted for television by Remender and Miles Orion Feldsott, who will serve as executive producers alongside Joe Russo (“Avengers: Infinity War,” “Captain America: Civil War”), Anthony Russo (“Avengers: Infinity War,” “Captain America: Civil War”), Mike Larocca (“Spy”) and Mick Betancourt (USA Network’s “The Purge,” “Shots Fired”). Remender, Feldsott and Betancourt will also share showrunner duties on the series.
