Neil Gaiman and Akiva Goldsman are joining forces to produce a TV series adaptation of the late Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast novels for FremantleMedia.
Gaiman and FremantleMedia’s involvement with Gormenghast is certainly encouraging at this stage, following their success with American Gods season 1.
He has also ventured further into the pool of television in recent years, having written multiple Doctor Who episodes and produced the American Gods TV series for FremantleMedia and Starz.
Casting has yet to begin on the new Gormenghast TV adaptation though, with a search actively underway to select a showrunner for the series first.
