Syfy is digging into classic science fiction for its next series. Steven Spielberg‘s Amblin Television is developing a series based on Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” for the cable network, TheWrap has learned.
Les Bohem will adapt the seminal novel first published in 1932, set in a futuristic, seemingly perfect society. Things begin to crumble when an outsider, residing on a “reservation,” rebels against the system.
Amblin TV co-presidents Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey will executive produce alongside Bohem on the Universal Cable Productions project.
“Brave New World is one of the most influential genre classics of all time,” Syfy president Dave How said in a statement.
