Horror screenwriter Chris Thomas Devlin has officially inked a deal with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for Film\/TV Literary representation. Agents Andrew Wang and Nick Hoagland will handle his representation at the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signing comes at a career high point for Devlin. He is set to write the highly anticipated reimagining of The Blair Witch Project<\/em> for Lionsgate and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, with production scheduled for fall 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No stranger to major horror IP, Devlin previously penned Netflix’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/em> reboot in 2022, and wrote the 2023 Lionsgate horror film Cobweb<\/em>, starring Lizzy Caplan<\/a> and Antony Starr<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the development front, his original survival horror feature Doomtown<\/em> is in active development under Divide\/Conquer’s first-look deal with Blumhouse-Atomic Monster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WME, which has been actively expanding its roster in 2026, signing talent including Donal Finn<\/a> and Hunter Flynn<\/a>, now adds one of genre film’s most in-demand scribes to its literary slate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devlin continues to be managed by Bellevue Productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Thomas Devlin landing at WME is a clear signal that Hollywood is doubling down on genre writers. With Blair Witch<\/em>, Texas Chainsaw<\/em>, and Cobweb<\/em> already on his resume and Doomtown<\/em> in active development at Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, Devlin is quietly becoming the go-to scribe for horror studios looking to revive legacy IP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WME’s Literary division betting on him at this moment suggests they see a writer on the verge of a major breakout. not just a genre specialist, but a name that could cross into mainstream prestige horror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does landing at WME signal Devlin is ready to move beyond genre and into broader studio projects? With Doomtown<\/em> at Blumhouse-Atomic Monster and Blair Witch<\/em> also at the studio, is Devlin becoming their exclusive go-to writer?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
