The crime series that J.K. Rowling writes as Robert Galbraith, beginning with The Cuckoo’s Calling, is coming to our tellies…
As time goes on, it looks like we’ll be getting a live action version of everything J.K. Rowling has ever written.
Her latest project to get an adaptation is The Cuckoo’s Calling, the crime drama she wrote under the pen-name Robert Galbraith before later revealing the author’s true identity.
BBC One has picked up the rights, and will be building a series around the life of Rowling’s detective Cormoran Strike, beginning with The Cuckoo’s Calling before moving onto its sequel The Silkworm.
We know that Rowling will collaborate on the project, but we don’t yet know how many episodes there will be or when they will air. We will be sure to let you know when we hear more.
In the meantime, BBC One and HBO’s adaptation of J.K. Rowling’sThe Casual Vacancy lands on our screens in February. Rowling's work on the scripts for Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is believed to be underway, as well.
We await confirmation of a live action series based on Rowling’s scribbled shopping lists and post-it note reminders.
