Written by Justin Cronin, The Passage was followed by 2012 sequel The Twelve, and 2016 threequel The City of Mirrors.
According to Variety, FOX has now granted a pilot order to The Passage, which counts among its executive producers both legendary director Ridley Scott and War for the Planet of the Apes helmer Matt Reeves.
Former Friday Night Lights writer/producer Liz Heldens will pen the script for The Passage’s pilot, with Reeves himself set to direct.
Screen rights to The Passage were acquired way back in 2007, with the original intention being to adapt the novel into a feature film.
