Netflix In Talks For ‘Anna O’ Series Adaptation From Berlanti Productions & Author Matthew Blake


In a competitive situation, Berlanti Prods and Warner Bros. Television have acquired the rights to Matthew Blake's debut crime thriller novel Anna O.

Blake burst into the literary scene with Anna O, which sparked a worldwide bidding war on submission in 2022 and secured three separate seven-figure deals alongside record-breaking auctions and pre-empts in a total of 40 territories. He began extensive research into sleep-related crimes and the mystery illness known as resignation syndrome that poses the question: if someone commits murder while sleepwalking, are they innocent or guilty?
