Lionsgate TV Developing WITCH SEASON Series Based On Romance Fantasy Novel
Lionsgate TV has announced that they are developing a new series titled Witch Season, based on Julia Bianco‘s upcoming romantic contemporary fantasy novel, with Bruna Papandrea‘s Made Up Stories on board to executive produce. Bianco’s debut novel will be published on June 30th by St. Martin’s Press in the U.S. and Headline Publishing Group in the UK as part of a two-book deal. Bianco will pen the adaptation and executive produce. A search is on for a showrunner.
The book’s official synopsis reads:
“Katherine Barnes is an enforcer, charged with upholding the rules of the notorious Los Angeles-based Aestas coven. It’s her job to maintain order and bring unsettled witches – people who aren’t aware they have magic until it explodes out of them in a catastrophic burst – into the coven’s fold. As a former unsettled witch, Katherine owes her life to Sylvia Page, coven leader and silver-haired rebel who founded Aestas years ago. When Silas Khatri, heir to Noctis, the most powerful coven in the world, arrives to take Aestas to task for some of their more unconventional practices, Katherine’s dislike for him reaches blistering levels. She hates his money, his good looks, his coven’s dangerous attitude towards unsettled witches. She can absolutely overlook that he sets her off in more ways than one. But a powerful threat is about to rise. Stronger than any one coven. More insidious than the decades-long power struggle that exists in the hidden witch world. One that will pull Katherine and Silas together despite their differences. And one that will lead to an all-out war.”
