NK Jemisin’s Inheritance Trilogy is heading to television, after Searchlight Television optioned the rights, and partnered with Westbrook Studios on an adaptation.

“N. K. Jemisin is one of the most creative and prolific fantasy novelists of our time. Her epic storytelling and fierce, powerful character work render complex, multicultural worlds that truly stand out in a genre too often painted with a monochromatic brush,” Westbrook’s Co-President, Head of Television, Terence Carter said. “We’re excited to partner with the team at Searchlight to bring her incredible, award-winning trilogy to life on screen.”

In the trilogy, published by Orbit, gods dwell among mortals and one powerful, corrupt family rules the earth. Three extraordinary people may be the key to humanity’s salvation.

According to Deadline, no writer or director has yet been linked to the project.
