A24 UK Lands TV Rights to Patrick Radden Keefe’s London Falling

The deal signals a larger push into reporter‑driven true crime at the studio’s growing UK division.

Overview

  • Trade outlets on Thursday reported that A24’s UK arm bought TV rights to London Falling in a competitive deal.
  • The nonfiction book, due April 7 from Doubleday and Pan Macmillan, examines the 2019 death of London teen Zac Brettler and his invented persona as a Russian oligarch’s son.
  • Patrick Radden Keefe is reported to serve as an executive producer on the series, with the Brettler family said to be involved.
  • Deadline reported that the Piers Wenger and Rose Garnett–led unit won the rights after a contest, reflecting A24 UK’s recent buildout with hires such as Heartstopper executive producer Patrick Walters.
  • The project is the second Keefe title at A24, which is also developing The Snakehead about a New York Chinatown human‑smuggling network.
