1ST THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY TV SERIES TRAILER WITH TOM HOPPER, ROBERT SHEEHAN! NETFLIX TO TURN SALMAN RUSHDIE'S MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN INTO TV SERIES

    'MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN'

SALMAN RUSHDIE TV ADAPTATION

The book was turned into a movie back in 2012

Two Netflix projects about kids with special powers, starting with TV series adaptation of Salman Rushdie's MIDNIGHT'S CHILDREN which  follows the life of Saleem Sinai, born on the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the time of India’s independence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of India’s national affairs; his health and wellbeing are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is inseparable, at times indistinguishable, from the history of his country. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India’s 1,000 other “midnight’s children,” all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts.
