Overview
- Netflix has secured the adaptation rights to Alix E. Harrow’s novel The Everlasting and is developing it for television after a competitive acquisition process.
- Writer and executive producer Daphne Ferraro is attached to create the show and will executive produce with author Alix E. Harrow and producers Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Katy Rozelle and Lea Cuello.
- Universal Global Television is producing the project for Netflix, but the streamer has not yet issued a formal series order.
- The source novel is a time-loop fantasy that follows Sir Una Everlasting and historian Owen Mallory whose lives become tangled across time as they try to rewrite a legend.
- Harrow’s established reputation and recent awards helped drive competition for the rights and, if the show is greenlit, casting and expanded plotting will be key decisions for adapting the single, dense novel to a TV format.
