Zak Penn’s television adaptation of Hugh Howey’s sci-fi novel Beacon 23 has finally received a series order via Spectrum Originals and AMC.
Penn has adapted the series, which was co-commissioned by Spectrum Originals and AMC Networks and will be co-produced by Platform One Media and Spectrum Originals.
It comes two years after the project first emerged at the Charter Communications service. Spectrum will have the first-run with a nine month window before it moves to AMC for its second window.
Set in the darkest recesses of space, the series is a suspenseful thriller and love story, where two people are trapped in a lighthouse at the end of the known universe.
Beacon 23 was originally written by Howey as five short stories that were put together as a novel and published in 2015.
