‘Consider Phlebas’ Sci-Fi Series Based On Book In Works At Amazon From Charles Yu, Chloé Zhao & Plan B


Amazon MGM Studios is developing Consider Phlebas, an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Iain M Banks, the first in the Culture book series.

The potential series is also executive produced by Oscar winner Chloé Zhao through her production company Books of Shadows, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B Entertainment as well as Adele Banks. Both Horza, a shape-shifting mercenary working for the Idirans, and Balveda, a “Special Circumstances” Culture agent, have been tasked with retrieving it to tip the balance in a galaxy-spanning conflict. A couple of months after setting Consider Phlebas for development with Utopia creator Dennis Kelly as writer, the streamer rescued canceled Syfy drama The Expanse, which was followed by the green light for shows like The Wheel Of Time, The Boys, The Peripheral and Fallout.
