Emily Carmichael (Jurassic World Dominion) and Shantha Susman are adapting the screenplay. Carly Kleinbart brought the project in to Universal and is overseeing development on behalf of Todd Lieberman (Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Wonder) and David Hoberman (The Fighter, Wonder), who will produce. Senior Vice President of Production Jeyun Munford and Director of Development Christine Sun are overseeing the project on behalf of the studio.
Novik and her Scholomance Trilogy have been on a roll since A Deadly Education‘s debut as an instant New York Times bestseller.

Other works from the author include the Nebula Award-winning Uprooted, the novel Spinning Silver and the nine-volume series, Temeraire.
