"Lore," the unsettling history podcast that features tales from New England and beyond, will see an hour-long television adaptation produced by Gale Anne Hurd of "The Walking Dead," creator Aaron Mahnke announced on Wednesday.

Mahnke, the author of four novels as well as the podcast, shared news about the partnership via Twitter Wednesday afternoon.

If you’ve been itching for more Lore in your life, you’re in for a treat: Lore is in development for television: https://t.co/7FucjKQTXW — Lore Podcast (@lorepodcast) April 20, 2016

And not just any old tv show; I’ve partnered with the producers of The Walking Dead. — Lore Podcast (@lorepodcast) April 20, 2016

According to a Hollywood Reporter article, the television show will be executive produced by Mahnke, Hurd, Ben Silverman, Howard T. Owens and Brett-Patrick Jenkins. The episodes will be an hour long and will portray spooky happenings in history similarly to the podcast.

Though "Lore's" approximately 30-minute episodes deal with folklore from around the world, installments have focused on stories from locations as close as Hadley. The producer, who lives in the Boston area, performed in Easthampton in November 2015.

The podcast's production will continue as scheduled, Mahnke said on Twitter.
