Production 
On November 12, 2021, it was announced that a television adaptation was in development for Disney+, with Aron Eli Coleite serving as writer and showrunner. The series will be a co-production between Paramount Television Studios (whose film division made the 2008 feature-length adaptation of the books) and 20th Television. Work on the series began by February 2022. In May 2022, Kat Coiro joined as an executive producer and director for the first two episodes. Christian Slater joined the cast as Mulgarath in August 2022. He is reportedly set to appear only through the first season. Later that month, Lyon Daniels and Noah Cottrell were added to the cast. On August 30, Joy Bryant joined the cast as Helen Grace. Mychala Lee joined as Mallory Grace in mid-September. Principal photography began on September 12, 2022, in Vancouver, Canada, and was scheduled to wrap on January 27, 2023. Release 
The series was previously set to release on Disney+ consisting of six episodes, however in August 2023, Deadline reported that the series was no longer moving forward at Disney+ due to cost-cutting reasons, despite having been already completed, and would be shopped to other networks. In October 2023, The Roku Channel had picked up the U.S. exclusive rights to the series, which will premiere in early 2024 and consist of eight episodes. References
