Sci-Fi Bulletin: Exploring the Universes of SF, Fantasy, Horror and Spy-fi!

Being Human’s Toby Whithouse will executive produce and script the latest adaptation of Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast tales.

Neil Gaiman and Akiva Goldsman will join him as executive producers for the Fremantle production which will include material from all five of Peake’s stories. It will be the first TV version since the 2000 BBC 2 series,  although Brian Sibley wrote a radio adaptation in 2011 which included all four novels but not the shorter tale, Boy in Darkness.
