Kim was an executive producer on Peacock’s series adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, for Universal and Amblin, which shot in Wales and London prior to the pandemic. This will be her third season with the show. It’s better than trying to shove it all into a movie – but the casting and the writing will definitely play a huge factor in its success.Kim Todd will return to the fifth season of The Handmaid’s Tale as executive producer for Hulu/MGM. I’m not sure how well “Brave New World” will do as a TV show, especially on SyFy, but I’m curious to see how it goes. This is the fourth or fifth they’ve approved to create, including the TV adaptation of Lev Grossman’s “The Magicians” which I am very excited about. SyFy has been going crazy lately in terms of TV series. Bohem, along with Amblin TV’s co-presidents Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey, will executive produce.
Les Bohem will take on the daunting task of writing the script, according to Hollywood Reporter. “Brave New World” was previously adapted into a (rather disliked) film in 1998 starring Leonard Nimoy and Peter Gallagher.
It fits with our society’s current fascination with dystopian societies and adaptations – see “The Hunger Games,” “Divergent,” and half a dozen other recent movies, not to mention scores of successful books. Bernard Marx longs to break free, so he visits the Savage Reservation, where the old way of life continues.Ĭonsidered one of the best novels to have ever been written, the dystopian tale was first published in 1932. Everybody is a happy consumer due to a combination of recreational drugs and brainwashing. “Brave New World” takes place far in the future, where World Controllers have created the ideal society. Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television will adapt “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley as a series for SyFy. Classic novel fans can get excited – or afraid, depending on how well they think book adaptations go.
