You know how people joke about books and comics being turned into shows and movies quicker and quicker? Netflix just won a bidding war over Dan Brown’s yet-to-be-released novel “The Secret of Secrets.” The streamer will be turning the upcoming book into a currently untitled series.
This new series will have Carlton Cuse (“Lost,” “Locke and Key”) as showrunner.
“The Secret of Secrets” is the 6th book in Brown’s series centered around Harvard professor of symbology, Robert Langdon. Brown is working alongside Cuse as co-creators, writers, and executive producers. Emma Forman of Cuse’s Genre-Arts will also executive produce.
“The Secret of Secrets”
Brown’s new novel will hit shelves on September 9th via Doubleday. It follows Robert as he travels to Prague to attend a lecture by groundbreaking noetic scientist/girlfriend Katherine Solomon. She is preparing to publish a new book with startling discoveries about the nature of human consciousness. Dispelling centuries of established belief, in the process.
The trip soon goes sideways when someone is brutally murdered, and Katherine and her manuscript go missing. Sending Robert on a quest to find her while trying to outrun a powerful organization that has set their sights on him.
Brown’s series kicked off in 2000 with “Angels & Demons,” followed by 2003’s “The Da Vinci Code,” 2009’s “The Lost Symbol,” 2013’s “Inferno,” and 2017’s “Origin.” His newest novel marks the longest release gap in the series.
Three of the existing novels have been adapted into films starring Tom Hanks and directed by Ron Howard: 2006’s “The Da Vinci Code,” 2009’s “Angels & Demons,” and 2016’s “Inferno.” In 2021, “The Lost Symbol” was turned into a Peacock series starring Ashley Zukerman as a younger version of Robert. Leaving “Origin” as the only title with no film or series adaptation.
