THE HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY is Being Developed as a TV Series For Hulu
The classic British sci-fi property, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, is getting a new adaptation, and this time it will be developed as a TV series for Hulu. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was created by Douglas Adams and this new series is being developed by showrunner, writer, and producer Carlton Cuse, who has worked on Lost, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Locke & Key. The series will also be written by Jason Fuchs who is best know for his work on Wonder Woman and Ice Age: Continental Drift.
Cuse and Fuchs are both big fans of these property and the series follows the intergalactic adventures of Arthur Dent, “a hapless Englishman, following the destruction of the Earth by the Vogons, a race of unpleasant and bureaucratic aliens.”
This is sure to make for a great series. I enjoyed the 2005 movie, but I’ve always felt that this sci-fi comedy property would work so much better as a long form TV show, so it’s great to see that it’s actually happening! Disney owns the Hitchhiker’s Guide IP and it’s being produced by ABC Signature, which is the cable/streaming division of ABC Studios.
With Disney owning Hulu, it makes sense that the series would be shown on the streaming platform. Are you excited to learn that The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy will be getting a series adaptation? Do you think the creative team has what it takes to do it justice?
