“We are honored that we have been chosen, along with Dennis Kelly and Plan B Entertainment, to make Consider Phlebas into a television series we think will be loved by fans for years to come.” “The story of the Culture is so rich and captivating that for years Hollywood has been trying to bring this utopian society to life on the screen,” said Sharon Tal Yguado, Head of Scripted Series at Amazon Studios, in the announcement. In its announcement, Amazon noted it had only acquired the rights to the first book, not the full series. Kelly has also been tapped to rewrite World War Z 2, which will be directed by David Fincher. Given the epic proportions of the series, and founder Jeff Bezos’ mandate that Amazon get its own Game of Thrones, could The Culture be it?ĭennis Kelly will adapt the 1987 book for a TV series in collaboration with Plan B Entertainment (which produced World War Z, 12 Years a Slave, The Big Short, Moonlight, and Feud). Banks’ ten-book space opera, his The Culture series, will see the first story turned into an Amazon TV series, the company announced on Wednesday.
