I made sure to have a conversation with the folks at Fabrik about my specific concerns–namely, the approach to gender, and the issue of whitewashing (as in, I do not want to see the book whitewashed, I would like to namedrop LeGuin and mention her Earthsea experience here, thank you). I am also aware, of course, that bringing AJ to any sort of screen (not counting your eReader screen, of course!) would be…an interestingly difficult project. But it does mean there could be, and lately it seems like there’s been quite a lot of science fictional television turning up.
Like I said, this doesn’t mean there’ll ever actually be any Ancillary Justice on television. They have previously worked together on THE KILLNG for four seasons on AMC and Netflix, and they started their relationship with BURN NOTICE, which ran for seven Seasons on USA.įabrik is currently in production on BOSCH, Amazon’s first ever hour-long drama pilot based on Michael Connelly’s best-selling Harry Bosch book seriesįox TV Studios is the studio behind THE AMERICANS for FX, and WHITE COLLAR, GRACELAND, and COMPLICATIONS at USA, among others. So who has this option, you ask? It’s production company Fabrik and Fox Television Studios. Now, “optioned” doesn’t necessarily mean that anything is going to actually happen–things get optioned and then never made, quite frequently. And I am told that I can now blog about it!īasically, Ancillary Justice has been optioned for TV. Which, actually, was mostly a kind of evasive answer, because stuff was maybe brewing behind the scenes but you don’t talk about that kind of stuff until it’s real. And mostly I’ve replied that, wow, that would be awesome! So, several times in the past few months I’ve been asked if there was any chance of Ancillary Justice making it to the movies–or TV.
