News TV

We are thrilled to read the announcement that award-winning Agency client William Boyd is adapting Ken Follett’s epic novel, FALL OF GIANTS.

FALL OF GIANTS is the first novel in Follett’s Century Trilogy and traces the tumultuous first decades of the 20th Century through the lens of five interrelated families. Set against a backdrop of assassination, global war, revolution, women’s suffrage, massive geopolitical upheaval and social change, the story explores how the reverberations of those issues and events affect a global set of characters from Wales, England, America, Germany and Russia. 

The project is in development at NBCUniversal-owned Peacock with the episodes and structure to be confirmed. Read the full Broadcast article here.

William Boyd is represented by Stephen Durbridge at The Agency.
