“Paramount TV is excited to have the opportunity to adapt Robert Heinlein’s seminal work of science fiction,” Amy Powell, President, Paramount TV said. “This novel has resonated with me since college and there’s a reason it has continued to find new fans for over forty years. Syfy’s understanding of imaginative and futuristic programming is unmatched, making them an ideal partner for this series.”

As a fan, I can’t wait to see it come to life as a world-class television event.”
