BBC One's adaptation of J.K. Rowling's
The Casual Vacancy will broadcast on the U.K. network this coming February, The Hollywood Reporter stated as part of their report on Wednesday's Robert Galbraith crime novels' series announcement.
The Casual Vacancy will show on HBO in the U.S., though no word yet on when in 2015 this will air.
Quote:
Rowling will collaborate on the project, with the number and length of episodes to be determined once the adaptation process has formally begun. Rowling previously teamed up with BBC and HBO for a three-hour miniseries adaptation of her novel The Casual Vacancy, which is set to air on BBC One in February.
BBC Television Director Danny Cohen's commented on the adaptation of the Cormoran Strike novels, starting with
The Cuckoo's Calling, from the Harry Potter author.
Quote:
“It’s a wonderful coup for BBC Television to be bringing J.K. Rowling’s latest books to the screen. With the rich character of Cormoran Strike at their heart, these dramas will be event television across the world."
