Critical Content has snapped up the rights to Ursula K. Le Guin’s 1969 sci-fi novel The Left Hand of Darkness to develop as a limited series for the small screen, Variety has revealed.
The Hugo and Nebula-winning novel “revolves around a human male’s mission to an alien planet known as Winter where the inhabitants have become androgynous with unusual mating rituals and gender characteristics that are fluid.”
Critical Content’s Tom Forman, Andrew Marcus and Ray Ricord will executive produce the series, with Le Guin also serving as a consulting producer. As yet, there’s no word on a potential outlet.
