HOLLYWOOD, Calif.\u2014 Another series inspired by Canadian author Margaret Atwood’s writing is on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Anonymous Content and Paramount Television say they’ve acquired the rights to develop a series based on Atwood’s dystopic trilogy \u201cOryx and Crake,\u201d \u201cThe Year of the Flood\u201d and \u201cMaddAddam.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cMaddAddam\u201d trilogy features a small group of survivors reeling from a global pandemic that has wiped out most of humanity.<\/p>\n

The executive producers will come from Anonymous Content as well as Rock Paper Scissors\u00a0Entertainment.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Atwood says she’s happy with the producers’ vision and the \u201cstunning visual presentation they put together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Atwood’s work has been a hit on TV lately, with much awards love for adaptations of \u201cThe Handmaid’s Tale\u201d and critical accolades for \u201cAlias Grace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anonymous Content’s David Kanter and Bard Dorros said the \u201cMaddAddam\u201d trilogy presents \u201cfascinating opportunities to dramatize the wildest vision of the future ever shown on television.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amy Powell, president of Paramount TV, added that Atwood’s \u201cunique and singular literary voice speaks to the greater issues facing our current climate and resonates with fans worldwide; the ‘MaddAddam’ Trilogy is no exception.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese stories are perfectly suited for portrayal on television, and we are thrilled to once again bring a literary masterpiece to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
