Syfy and Legendary TV have acquired Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children books for a series adaptation, THR reports, setting Joe Tracz (A Series of Unfortunate Events) to adapt.
“The four-book series, beginning with Every Heart a Doorway, centers on a mysterious boarding school for students who have returned from trips to magical worlds where they were heroes or monsters and now have to readjust to being ordinary children. All of them are looking for a way back to their fantasy realms, but when students start turning up dead, those who remain team up to catch the killer — lest none of them ever get to go home again.”
Every Heart a Doorway was published in 2016, and it was followed by Down Among the Sticks and Bones, Beneath the Sugar Sky, and this year’s In an Absent Dream.
