‘Nights’ follows a group of friends navigating the complexities of life, relationships, and mysterious paranormal events, but don’t think Scooby Doo!
As reported by Mercedes Milligan for Animation Magazine, Titmouse, the award-winning animation studio renowned for its innovative and boundary-pushing work, has announced its latest venture: an animated series based on the hit comic book ‘Nights’.
Written by Wyatt Kennedy with art by Luigi Formisano, ‘Nights’ is published by Image Comics and has garnered significant acclaim for its unique blend of supernatural and coming-of-age storytelling.
Scooby Doo It is Not!

This is a supernatural coming-of-age story that has resonated deeply with readers. The animated adaptation will be produced in collaboration with Kennedy and Formisano, ensuring that the original vision of the comic is faithfully brought to life on screen.
Creative Vision
Alexei Bochenek, Creative Director at Titmouse, explained:”‘Nights’ isn’t the type of comic you read and say, ‘Oh neat, cool art, good story,’ and then put back on the shelf with all the other comics that have cool art and good stories. Nights is a generational experience in the making.”
A bold claim, indeed!
Collaboration and Excitement
Luigi Formisano shared his excitement about the project, noting, “It’s unbelievable to think that the incredibly talented people behind some of my favourite shows are now bringing ‘Nights’ to life.”
Artistic Integrity and Innovation
The producers of the animated series are committed to maintaining the distinctive artistic style and storytelling of the comic book while introducing new layers of depth and imagination.
The world of ‘Nights’ is nostalgic and dreamlike, where monsters and vampires are real, and the late ’90s and early 2000s vibes are ever-present (and thankfully no Scooby Doo hairstyles and fashions!).
Release and Availability
The ‘Nights’ comic book series launched at Image Comics in 2024 and received critical acclaim. The first 12-issue story arc, titled ‘Season One,’ has captivated readers with its compelling narrative and striking art. The ‘Season One’ finale issue, ‘Nights #12‘, is now available, and the ‘Season Two’ premiere issue, ‘Nights #13‘ will be released on 26 February.
