Media Rights

We have a strong track record of securing film, TV and stage adaptation deals for our clients’ books. We pride ourselves in finding the very best production partners for each book from an extensive network of contacts across the globe.

Our clients’ recent film and TV successes include the BBC series The Turkish Detective based on Barbara Nadel’s Inspector Ikmen novels, and the announcement of a drama series based on Tom Wood’s Victor the Assassin series for HBO Max from Entertainment 360 & Gaumont, starring Lost’s Matthew Fox. Alan Moore’s long-awaited and acclaimed new fantasy novel The Great When was also optioned by Playground Entertainment for a major new TV adaptation.

We also have strong links with factual producers and many of our clients regularly appear on documentaries in their areas of expertise and provide consulting services to production companies.
