Stuart Turton's Costa Award-winning debut novel, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, will be adapted as a seven-part series for Netflix UK. Sourcebooks published the U.S. edition, The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, in 2018. The series is created and written by Sophie Petzal and produced by House Productions.
"I'm so excited to have the chance to bring Stuart's exhilarating, original and mind-bending novel to life on Netflix," said Petzal. "From the moment I read the book, I knew it could make the most extraordinary television series and I'm so grateful to be a part of the incredible team setting out on this journey."
Turton added: "I'm absolutely delighted that The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle is coming to the screen, and wish to offer my apologies to the wonderfully talented Sophie Petzal--who has the mind-destroying job of adapting it. When I set out to write a time-travelling, body-hopping, murder mystery novel, I never imagined it would end up on the telly, and I can't wait to see how it unfolds."
