‘Key & Peele’ Showrunner Jay Martel to Adapt ‘Channel Blue’ for Paramount Players

Martel will adapt his novel for the screen.

The studio label most recently released the John Cena-fronted kids feature Playing With Fire, and is in postproduction on the Dylan O’Brien action-comedy Monster Problems and the horror pic Body Cam, starring Mary J. Blige and Theo Rossi.

Martel’s other credits include Warner Bros.’ Kevin Hart-Will Ferrell comedy Get Hard and the TV Land series Teachers. He is repped by Verve and Ziffren Brittenham.
