\n\tEXCLUSIVE: <\/strong>It\u2019s a family affair for Pamela Anderson<\/a>, who has launched the production company And-Her-Sons Productions<\/a> alongside sons Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee. A TV series from UCP<\/a> and Dark Horse Entertainment<\/a> based on Dark Horse Comics\u2019 1990s comic book character Barb Wire<\/a> is currently in development and will serve as the company\u2019s first project, sources tell Deadline.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnderson famously starred in a 1996 movie adaptation from Universal Pictures, playing the titular character created by Chris Warner. The action flick is less than a year shy of its 30th anniversary.<\/p>\n

\n\tBarb Wire, the drama series adaptation, follows nail-hard, tough Barbara Kopetski, aka Barb Wire, the baddest bounty hunter on the mean streets of Steel Harbor. Armed with her arsenal, motorcycle and an attitude that just won\u2019t quit, Barb is willing to right any wrong in Steel Harbor \u2013 if the price is right.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnderson will not be reprising the role on the small screen, and it\u2019s too early to say if she would appear in any capacity if the project goes to series, sources say. We understand the TV series would have \u201ca different feel\u201d than that film.<\/p>\n

\n\tBarb Wire first appeared in \u201cComics\u2019 Greatest World: Steel Harbor\u201d in 1993, followed by nine issues from 1994-1995, a four-episode miniseries a year later, and an eight-issue reboot in 2015. A new, comprehensive volume collecting every mainline Barb Wire comic and a bounty of bonus material, \u201cThe Barb Wire Compendium,\u201d is coming in February 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tMike Richardson and Keith Goldberg will executive produce the TV series for Dark Horse, with Anderson and Brandon Thomas Lee exec producing for And-Her-Sons.<\/p>\n

\n\tAnderson most recently starred in The Last Showgirl, executive produced by Brandon Thomas Lee, for which she received critical acclaim as well as SAG and Golden Globe nominations. Additionally, she starred in Paramount\u2019s The Naked Gun, which just crossed the $100 million mark at the box office. She has completed production on Rosebush Pruning for director Karim A\u00efnouz and Place to Be for director Korn\u00e9l Mundrucz\u00f3.<\/p>\n

\n\tNext up, Anderson will star in Love is Not the Answer for director Michael Cera, followed by Queen of the Falls for directors Rania Attieh and Daniel Garcia, as well as Alma for director Sally Potter. She recently received the Talent Award at the Deauville Film Festival. She is repped by CAA and Hansen Jacobson.<\/p>\n

\n\tThrough the family\u2019s new shingle, they will produce projects that reinforce and celebrate Anderson\u2019s legacy and that of other aspirational female figures, both fictional and non-fictional.<\/p>\n

\n\tDark Horse Comics was founded by Richardson in 1986. The publisher spun off Dark Horse Entertainment, founded in 1989, under the name Dark Horse Productions. The company\u2019s first major films included The Mask (1994), Timecop (1994) and Barb Wire (1996).<\/p>\n

\n\tUCP and Dark Horse Entertainment\u2019s recent collaborations include the Emmy-nominated The Umbrella Academy for Netflix and Syfy\u2019s Alan Tudek-led series Resident Alien.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: It\u2019s a family affair for Pamela Anderson, who has launched the production company And-Her-Sons Productions alongside sons…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":240429,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[128521,128522,185,128523,171,65822,10910,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-240428","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-and-her-sons-productions","9":"tag-barb-wire","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-dark-horse-entertainment","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-pamela-anderson","14":"tag-ucp","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115234359439453340","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
