Feb. 16 (UPI) — USA Network has ordered a series based on Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel “Brave New World.”
Owen Harris will direct the first episode and executive produce the series, which imagines a utopian society that has achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself,” a press release said.
No casting or premiere date have been announced yet.
The show is a collaboration between Universal Content Productions and Amblin Television, a division of Amblin Partners, a content creation company led by Steven Spielberg.
David Wiener — whose credits include “Homecoming” and “The Killing” — will serve as series showrunner.
USA Network also recently announced it had renewed “Suits” for a ninth and final season, and ordered a new drama called “Briarpatch” starring Rosario Dawson.
