Waking Lions may soon be on the small screen. The novel by Ayelet Gundar-Goshen is the basis of a pilot that is being developed by NBC. The series comes from Gideon Raff. He is best known for his work on Tyrant, which is currently airing its third season.
Variety shared the following about the plot of the potential series:
“In the international best-seller, Beverly Hills doctor Eitan Green hits and kills an African immigrant on his drive home one night; he flees the scene, but soon finds himself being blackmailed by the victim’s wife. Worse for him, his own wife becomes the lead investigator on the resulting case.”
Have you read Waking Lions? Will you check out the series if it lands on NBC? Tell us what you think.
Great book. Would make a great movie. Not sure about a tv series unless it is a limited series and not on a broadcast channel. Definitely more HBO or Netflix. Needs a treatment like “Queen’s Gambit”
I love this book and have been hoping it would be a film or series. However, I would wish to keep the story true to the original and do it in Israel.
I read the book and think it was one of the most enlightening and entertaining book I have read in a long time. I would definitely watch the tv series. When will it be aired?
As I read “Waking Lions”, several months ago, I wondered who will pick up the glove of adopting it to screen/TV. Under the hood of a breath-taking crime story – there is a deep observation on relations between western world and work immigrant. Plot turns, romance, good guys and bad guys switch places, and nothing can be taken as certain till the very end. Can’t wait.
