AMC, the network who brings us The Walking Dead, is continuing to make inroads into our hearts by picking up a UFO-related show. This one comes from David Eick, executive producer of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica, and feature writing/directing duo Paul Boardman and Scott Derrickson who co-wrote The Exorcism of Emily Rose.

Deadline reports that the show is called Thunderstruck, and will be an hour-long drama written by Boardman and Derrickson. They will also executive produce the series with Eick, and Derrickson will direct. The series is said to be about “powerful and enigmatic entities that begin appearing all over the world. After one shows up in the town of Great Falls, Montana, the local citizens must grapple with the dramatic effects and growing mystery of repeated visitations.”

Sounds absolutely great to us, and yes, we will definitely keep you posted.
