HBO is developing a series based on an acclaimed series by author Margaret Atwood.

The network behind other literary adaptations such as George R.R. Martin鈥檚 鈥�Song of Ice and Fire鈥� series and the novel 鈥淭he Leftovers鈥� by Tom Perrotta reportedly put into development a series based on Atwood鈥檚 鈥淢addAddam鈥� trilogy, according to Deadline. The series consists of the novels 鈥淥ryx and Crake,鈥� 鈥淵ear of the Flood,鈥� and 鈥淢addAddam,鈥� which was released in 2013.聽

The series will be titled 鈥淢addAddam鈥� and is being executive-produced by Darren Aronofsky, who has directed films such as 鈥淣oah鈥� and 鈥�Black Swan.鈥� According to Deadline, Aronofsky could direct it as well.

Atwood鈥檚 series takes place in a future world in which corporations rule the globe and scientific experimentation has made genetic modification of creatures quite common.聽

The author is also known for novels such as 鈥淭he Handmaid鈥檚 Tale鈥� and 鈥淭he Blind Assassin.鈥�

When 鈥淢addAddam鈥� was released, it earned a place on both the Monitor鈥檚 10 best books and Amazon鈥檚 10 picks for that September, the month in which it was released. Monitor fiction critic Yvonne Zipp聽called 鈥淢addAddam鈥� 鈥渟harply satirical.鈥澛�

鈥溾�橫addAddam鈥� is a fast-paced, suspenseful novel,鈥� Zipp wrote. 鈥淔or a book with a death count in the billions, [it] contains a hefty amount of scathing humor.鈥�

HBO鈥檚 current season of 鈥�Game of Thrones,鈥� based on the novels by Martin, is set to conclude soon and the last season of another literary adaptation, 鈥�True Blood,鈥� based on the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris, is premiering later this month, on June 22. 鈥淭he Leftovers鈥� is premiering on June 29. Adaptations by the channel of two popular fantasy/sci-fi works, the 鈥�Dark Tower鈥� series by Stephen King and the novel 鈥�American Gods鈥� by Neil Gaiman, had long been rumored, but the future of a 鈥淭ower鈥� adaptation is unclear and it was announced this past February that 鈥淕ods鈥� is currently in development at FremantleMedia, according to the .
