According to Deadline, Peacock is currently in the process of developing a series adaptation of author Victoria Aveyard’s YA fantasy novels titled Red Queen, with Emmy nominee Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect films) attached to direct the potential series.
Red Queen is set in an alternate near-future America where democracy is replaced by a monarchy led by a group of humans with superpowers who rule with an iron fist over those without powers.
