John Green’s Looking for Alaska heading to Hulu as TV series

May 14, 2018 by Gary Collinson

The Fault in Our Stars author John Green’s debut novel Looking for Alaska is set for a small screen adaptation, with Hulu picking up an eight-episode limited series from Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s Fake Empire along with Paramount Television.

The Amazon blurb for Looking for Alaska, first published back in 2005, reads:

BEFORE. Miles Halter’s whole life has been one big non-event until he starts at anything-but-boring Culver Creek Boarding School and meets Alaska Young. Gorgeous, clever, funny, sexy, screwed up and utterly fascinating she pulls Miles into her world, launches him into a new life, and steals his heart. But when tragedy strikes, and Miles comes face-to-face with death he discovers the value of living and loving unconditionally.

AFTER: Nothing will ever be the same.

The O.C. creator Schwartz first acquired the rights to the book in 2005, having been impressed by the unpublished manuscript. It has since went through a number of aborted incarnations over the years, with various writers and directors on board, before Schwartz re-approached Green with the idea of adapting the story as a limited series.

Schwartz has written the pilot episode, and will executive produce with Savage, Green, Jessica Tuchinsky and Mark Waters, along with Marty Bowen and Isaac Klausner of Temple Hill, the company behind the feature adaptations of The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns.
