Starz Developing The Wolf King TV Series With Tanya Saracho Attached

The network has optioned the full trilogy, positioning the show to draw from all three books and to strengthen Starz’s slate of romantasy dramas.

Overview

  • Starz announced Thursday that it has acquired rights to Lauren Palphreyman’s The Wolf King and placed the trilogy in active development.
  • Tanya Saracho, creator of Vida, is set to serve as showrunner and executive producer with Palphreyman joining as an executive producer.
  • The series will follow Princess Aurora after her abduction by a werewolf and her entanglement in a lethal love triangle against a backdrop of war, according to the network logline.
  • No production start date, casting choices, filming locations, budget details, or release timetable have been announced so far.
  • The move follows Starz’s history with romantasy and book adaptations and could expand the genre on screen now that the network controls all three novels, the last of which is due this November.
