Overview
- Deadline reported Wednesday that A24 UK has optioned the television rights to Alexis Hall’s romance novel Boyfriend Material.
- The book follows Luc and Oliver in an enemies-to-lovers setup and launched a trilogy that continues with Husband Material and the soon-to-release Father Material.
- No writer, cast, network, or production timeline has been announced, and an option is an early step that often takes years to reach the screen.
- A24 UK, led by Piers Wenger and Rose Garnett, has been actively buying books, including White Smoke with Benedict Cumberbatch and options on London Falling, We Are the Dead, and Broken Toys.
- Boyfriend Material grew through TikTok’s BookTok community and now has more than 50 international editions, a reach that has already sparked fan casting chatter online.
