"On the heels of the success of HBO Max's post-apocalyptic limited series Station Eleven, created by Patrick Somerville based on the 2014 novel of the same name by Emily St. John Mandel," the two are teaming up again for series adaptations of Mandel's most recent book, The Glass Hotel, as well as her upcoming novel Sea of Tranquility, Deadline reported.
The two projects are in development at HBO Max. Paramount TV Studios has optioned The Glass Hotel and Sea of Tranquility and is producing the potential two new series. St. John Mandel and Somerville will co-write both projects.
"Emily has a stunning new book about to come out called Sea of Tranquility," Somerville said. "It has the moon, time travel, and futuristic book tours, I think I've made it clear I'm a big fan of one of her earlier novels, but I gotta say--this is my favorite Emily novel. It's... incredible."
