Amazon Studios are working on an adaptation of Andrew Barrer’s Young Blood, a new novella coming from Amazon Original stories.

Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari, who worked together on Ant-Man and the Wasp, will write the script.

The story is “set in the near future, where the fountain of youth has been found—running through the veins of post-millennials. It’s a win-win. Older generations can reverse the aging process through weekly transfusions while, far removed from the realities of the outside world, aimless “blood chickens” can live a life of guiltless bliss in idyllic youth farms. But the volunteers soon discover a catch: while life in the youth farms is easy, it’s not quite so easy to leave.”

The original novella is also being expanded into a trilogy of novels.
