If you're an aspiring horror writer with an established Reddit account, the tale of "My Wife And I Bought A Ranch" is a dream-come-true. Deadline is reporting that Netflix has won the rights to a short story posted to the No Sleep subreddit. You can see the post here, although the full story is divided across six parts.
The story, about an ex-marine and his wife who purchase a ranch and soon find out that there's a malevolent force at work there, was written by Matt Query. It's well-regarded among the No Sleep community, and has received 3000 upvotes since the first part was posted five months ago.
The rights to the story were bought for a figure in the low seven-figure range, likely meaning between $1-5 million.

The script will be handled by his brother, Harrison Query, who is already working on a Three Musketeers project for the streaming service. Scott Glassgold and Ground Control Entertainment are producing, but talks are underway with potential co-producers, including Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen at 21 Laps (Stranger Things) and Aquaman-director James Wan's Atomic Monster.
No director has been attached to the project as of yet.
Back in 2018, Ryan Reynolds signed on to adapt The Patient Who Nearly Drove Me Out Of Medicine, another story posted to No Sleep. There have been few updates on the project since then.
