Netflix is working on an adaptation of Ayana Gray’s YA fantasy novel Beasts of Prey, which is published in the US today (28 September).

The story follows two Black teenagers, Koffi and Ekon — who cross paths and end up forming an unlikely alliance. Each fuelled by their own individual motivations that they keep secret from one another, the two teenagers set out on a dangerous adventure into a magical jungle to hunt down a ferocious monster threatening their hometown known as the Shetani.

“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Melody Cooper and the incredible teams at Netflix and Clubhouse Pictures as they work on developing Beasts of Prey into a film,” Gray stated. Melody Cooper is adapting the novel with Scott Morgan as Executive Producer.
