USA Picks Up BRAVE NEW WORLD Adaptation

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is one of those books that high school students are forced to read. Back in 2015, the book was set to become a series over at SYFY. However, now things have changed as USA Network has put in a 10-episode order for an adaptation of the book. The version for USA is being written by David Wiener who will also serve as showrunner.

“As citizens of New London, Bernard Marx and Lenina Crowne have only ever known a rigid social order, a perfect pharmaceutical called Soma, and a culture of instant gratification and ubiquitous sex. Curious to explore life beyond the strictures of their society, the two New Worlders embark on a vacation to the Savage Lands, where they become embroiled in a harrowing and violent rebellion. Bernard and Lenina are rescued by John the Savage, who escapes with them back to New London. John’s arrival in the New World soon threatens to disrupt its utopian harmony, leaving Bernard and Lenina to grapple with the repercussions. The three become entwined in a fraught relationship that awakens them to the dangers of their own conditioning.”

There is currently no release date or casting announced. Who would you like to see in this adaptation?
