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.
