Moritz and Pavun Shetty likewise executive producing. (Deadline.com)

WOMAN IN THE BOOK (Facebook Watch, New!) - Crypt TV has booked its first animated horror series at the streaming service which "follows the lives of three estranged siblings who reunite at an aging Mexican hacienda to wrestle for their inheritance, but inadvertently unleash a book-bound horror upon them that has plagued their family for generations."
