Welcome to the ninth edition of Scooping The Screen, our own original feature in which books on television and in film will be spotlighted. This feature will be posted at varying frequencies, so please keep checking our site for further updates (although I hope to have it out at least once a week).
~BOOKS ON TELEVISION~
MTV is developing the book Unraveling by Elizabeth Norris. If it goes forward, it will join series such a Teen Wolf and Awkward at the network. For more information, check out The Hollywood Reporter.
The CW also has The Hundred in development which is based on the forthcoming two-part series by Kass Morgan. It is about 100 juvenile delinquents who leave their city-like spaceship homes to recolonize a barely-recognizable Earth while dealing with the secrets of their pasts.
ABC Family has released the returning date for the second season of The Lying Game. It will premiere on January 8, 2013 right after the Season 3b premiere of Pretty Little Liars. Both series are based on the books by Sara Shepard. Check out the new trailer for TLG below (click on the poster!) and let me know what you think!

That would be so cool if they made Unraveling into a TV show! And The Hundred sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing :)

Unravelling! Wow. I had no idea. It'll be awesome if MTV picks it up.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting that Unraveling could be a show. It makes me so sad when YA series don't get greenlit because the shows are SO addicting!
ReplyDeleteI really like The Lying Game the show, I bet I would enjoy the books as well. I really need to read them!
