YOU Creators Reteaming With Novelist Caroline Kepnes to Adapt PROVIDENCE at Peacock

The creators of the popular Netflix series You are reteaming with its novel’s author, Caroline Kepnes, to adapt another of her books titled, Providence. This time, the series is set to land at NBC streamer, Peacock. You creator and writer Sera Gamble will write the series alongside You writer Neil Reynolds.

Deadline provides the following synopsis for the 2018 novel:

It tells the story of 12-year-old Jon Bronson, who, ten years ago, vanished, along with five of his classmates. Reappearing as a grown man with no recollection of his adolescence, he attempts to re-enter life and to connect with his childhood crush, Chloe Sayers, who never lost hope that Jon was out there and would one day return. But unbeknownst to him, his time away has granted him — and the others that vanished — horrific supernatural abilities. Now Jon’s own body won’t allow him to get physically close to the love of his life. Jon must figure out what was done to him and the others — and why.

Susan Rovner, Chairman of Entertainment Content at NBCUniversal, said of the team-up:

“I’m thrilled to team up with Sera, Neil and Greg once again and bring to life another adaptation of Caroline Kepnes’ gripping novels, this time with supernatural thriller and mysterious love story, Providence. On the drama development side we are ramping up cross-genre series that have wide appeal, and Providence is a shining example of the types of shows we’re looking to bring to Peacock.”

This sounds like an interesting story, and after the success of this crew on their last series, I am interested in seeing how well this series does at Peacock. Have you read Providence? Are you excited for this show?
