The Overstory, printed in 2018, is a sprawling work that intertwines a number of tales involving a large solid of characters and 5 very particular bushes. (It’s cool, actually.) Much like Benioff and Weiss’ beforehand introduced adaptation of The Three-Body Problem for the streamer, or the HBO collection the duo is legendary for, it’s the type wide-angle, large-scale story the pair appear to have a style for — albeit one with extra literary fare.
The Netflix adaptation has a script by Richard Robbins — previously of Good Girls Revolt and 12 Monkeys — and Hugh Jackman is among the many producers concerned, alongside The Overstory writer Richard Powers, in response to The Hollywood Reporter. (Jackman is to date on board as a fan, and never a star.)
There’s no phrase on when to anticipate a premiere, or whether or not it will debut earlier than or after the pair’s Three-Body Problem adaptation.
Skeptics will maybe admire that each of Benioff and Weiss’ forthcoming initiatives have precise endings, although.
