Brave New World ordered to series by USA Network

February 15, 2019 by Gary Collinson

USA Network has granted a straight-to-series order for Brave New World, a long-planned adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s acclaimed 1931 dystopian novel of the same name.

As per THR, the official logline for the ten-episode series reads:

As citizens of New London, Bernard Marx and Lenina Crowne have only ever known a rigid social order, a perfect pharmaceutical called Soma, and a culture of instant gratification and ubiquitous sex. Curious to explore life beyond the strictures of their society, the two New Worlders embark on a vacation to the Savage Lands, where they become embroiled in a harrowing and violent rebellion. Bernard and Lenina are rescued by John the Savage, who escapes with them back to New London. John’s arrival in the New World soon threatens to disrupt its utopian harmony, leaving Bernard and Lenina to grapple with the repercussions. The three become entwined in a fraught relationship that awakens them to the dangers of their own conditioning.

David Wiener (Homecoming) is attached to write and produce, and will work alongside Grant Morrison (Batman) and Brian Taylor (Crank) to develop the series having taken over from Les Bohem (Taken) who was originally attached to pen the script when the project was first announced by Syfy back in 2015.

Owen Harris (Black Mirror: San Junipero) is set to direct the series, which will shoot in the UK. As yet, there’s no word on a potential premiere date.

Originally published February 15, 2019. Updated November 21, 2019.
