Amazon Developing a Series Adaptation of The YA Novel FELIX EVER AFTER
Amazon Studio has picked up the rights to Kacen Callender’s young adult novel Felix Ever After and they will be adapting it into a TV series. The story follows a “transgender teen grappling with identity and self-discovery while falling in love for the first time.”
I know some individuals who have gone through this kind of experience. Being a teenager is already a hard part of life to get through, but this story takes that teenage experience to another level.
The book follows Felix Love, “who has never been in love—and, yes, he’s painfully aware of the irony. He desperately wants to know what it’s like and why it seems so easy for everyone but him to find someone. What’s worse is that, even though he is proud of his identity, Felix also secretly fears that he’s one marginalization too many—Black, queer, and transgender—to ever get his own happily-ever-after. When an anonymous student begins sending him transphobic messages—after publicly posting Felix’s deadname alongside images of him before he transitioned—Felix comes up with a plan for revenge. What he didn’t count on: his catfish scenario landing him in a quasi–love triangle. But as he navigates his complicated feelings, Felix begins a journey of questioning and self-discovery that helps redefine his most important relationship: how he feels about himself.”
There are people out there that will certainly appreciate this story being brought to life.
