Jamie Lee Curtis to Produce DARKLY Series Adaptation For Blumhouse TV
Academy award winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis (Everything Everywhere All At Once) has signed on to produce Marisha Pessl’s No. 1 national bestseller Darkly as a TV series for Blumhouse TV. Curtis will produce through her company Comet Pictures’ first-look deal with the independent studio.
Jason Blum and Chris Dickie are also producing for Blumhouse Television and Pessl. A search is underway for a writer to adapt the psychological YA thriller novel.
Darkly was published on November 26, 2024 by Penguin Random House. In it, Arcadia “Dia” Gannon has been obsessed with Louisiana Veda, the game designer whose obsessive creations and company, Darkly, have gained a cultlike following. Dia is shocked when she’s chosen for a highly coveted internship, along with six other teenagers from around the world. Why her? Dia has never won anything in her life.
Darkly, once a game-making empire renowned for its ingenious and utterly terrifying toys and games, now lies dormant after Veda’s mysterious death. The remaining games are priced like rare works of art, with some fetching millions of dollars at auction.
As Dia and her fellow interns delve into the heart of Darkly, they discover hidden symbols, buried clues and a web of intrigue. Who are these other teens, and what secrets do they keep? Why were any of them really chosen? The answers lie within the twisted labyrinth of Darkly.
Stay tuned for updates on the project as it moves forward.
