HBO Developing Half-Hour Comedy Series Titled THE EVERY Based on Novel by Dave Eggers

HBO has announced that they are developing a new half-hour comedy series titled The Every, based on the novel by Dave Eggers. In the show, “the world’s largest tech company merges with the planet’s dominant e-commerce site, creating the richest and most dangerous – and, oddly enough, the most beloved – monopoly ever known: The Every.”

Eggers will serve as an executive producer on the project. New Girl and Veep writer Rachel Axler will adapt the book for the small screen and executive produce, with David Miner of 3 Arts also set to executive produce.

Amy Gravitt, executive vice president of HBO Programming, said of the project:

“In this equally terrifying and hilarious cautionary tale, Dave Eggers shows us the increasing cost of the frictionless life that technology enables. As he writes, ‘Nothing described herein actually happened, though much of it likely will,’ and what better starting point for an HBO comedy script?”

This sounds like an interesting series. Do you think you’ll want to check out The Every?
