Robert Langdon Series Based on Dan Brown's THE SECRET OF SECRETS Set Up at Netflix
In a major bidding waramong the streamers, Netflix has landed the upcoming series adaptation of The Secret of Secrets, from author Dan Brown and showrunner Carlton Cuse (Lost, Jack Ryan, Locke and Key). The untitled drama is set in the world of Brown’s anticipated mystery thriller novel The Secret of Secrets, the sixth book in his series about Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon.
Brown and Cuse are co-creators, writers and executive producers, with Cuse serving as showrunner. Emma Forman of Cuse’s Genre-Arts also executive produces. Staffing for the series is already underway.
The Secret of Secrets novel is set for a September 9th release. In it, “symbologist Robert Langdon races against ancient forces and time to rescue a missing scientist and her groundbreaking manuscript whose discoveries have the power to forever change humanity’s understanding of the mind. The series adaptation will blend futuristic science with mystical lore, delivering on the heart-pounding suspense and international intrigue that has made the Langdon stories a global phenomenon.”
In announcing the publish date, Brown called The Secret of Secrets “by far the most intricately plotted and ambitious book that I have ever written, and I also happen to think that it’s the most fun.”
This may explain the eight-year gap between the newest installment and the most recent Robert Langdon novel, the longest in the series, which includes Angels & Demons (2000), The Da Vinci Code (2003), The Lost Symbol (2009), Inferno (2013), Origin (2017) and the upcoming The Secret of Secrets (2025). Fueled by the massive worldwide success of The Da Vinci Code, Brown’s novels have sold over 250 million copies in 56 languages.
Three of the novels have been adapted into features starring Tom Hanks as Langdon and directed by Ron Howard, The Da Vinci Code (2006), Angels & Demons (2009) and Inferno (2016), which have grossed combined $2.24 billion worldwide (adjusted in 2025 dollars). A fourth, The Lost Symbol, was turned into a 2021 Peacock series with Ashley Zukerman as a younger version of Langdon. It ran for one season.
