Author J.K. ROWLING’s 2013 book “The Cuckoos’s Calling” is set to be adapted into a British TV series.
A TV series based on J.K. Rowling’s mystery novels, “The Cuckoo’s Calling” and “The Silkworm,” is coming to BBC One. Rowling wrote these books under the pen name Robert Galbraith. The story centers on a private investigator, a former war veteran with a prosthetic leg. This project reunites Rowling with Bronte Film and TV, who previously adapted her book “The Casual Vacancy.”
Following the success of the first novel, Rowling followed with the The Silkworm and both books will now be used as the foundation for a BBC drama series about a war veteran who loses his leg in Afghanistan and decides to embark on a career as a private investigator.
The project will reunite Rowling with Bronte Film and TV producers, who worked on the adaptation of her book The Casual Vacancy.
Announcing the project on Twitter, the author writes: “My friend @RGalbraith’s first novel is going to be a TV drama on @BBCOne. He’s very excited, but expressing it with characteristic silence.”
