Playground Entertainment, which is doing All Creatures, will also turn CL Skelton's international book hit into a sweeping rags-to-riches series set in Yorkshire! The six-part series will tell the story of generations of the Hardacre family from Victorian England to the 1950s.

  THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END 

NETFLIX NABS ADAPTATION

Netflix has nabbed the adaptation

In a very heated battle between streamers, Netflix has nabbed the series adaptation of Adam Silvera's mega hit book THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END. Chris Van Dusen will adapt the story about Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio who find out that they’re going to die today. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day. The novel is a devastating yet uplifting story about two people whose lives change over the course of one unforgettable day. The book also got a prequel earlier this Autumn. 

 DUNGEONS & DRAGONS SERIES

After ruining Halo, Paramount Plus has ordered another game small screen adaptation: DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS will be turned into a live action TV series by the hot hunkster Rawson Marshall Thurber. He will also direct the eight part series based on the fantasy role playing game in which players design characters that can range from humans to elves to dwarves and beyond and then select a class such as paladin, fighter, ranger, barbarian or several others. The series is not connected with the upcoming movie adaptation.
