The Rivers of London series of novels by Ben Aaronovitch is set to be adapted to television by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s Stolen Picture production company.
Reported by Deadline, the first novel, titled The Rivers of London in the U.K. and Midnight Riot in the U.S., will be adapted into an 8-10 episode first season, with subsequent seasons potentially incorporating multiple novels. The novel follows Peter Grant, a young Metropolitan Police officer who encounters a ghost and is recruited into a police branch that focuses on magic and the supernatural.
No broadcasters or video-on-demand platforms have yet been pitched, though the series is intended to broadcast globally. Pegg, Frost, Aaronovitch and Stolen Picture’s Miles Ketley are set to executive produce the project.
