Hulu will create a new universe

Image John Grisham, an American writer whose books have been translated into 42 languages and have sold millions of copies, will see a universe based on his work on the screen. According to Collider, the online service Hulu is planning not just a film adaptation of Grisham's works (they have been adapted more than once for both large and small screens) - the bosses of the streaming giant intend to create a whole universe based on the works of the writer, who was so famous called "legal thrillers".

A similar thing happened with the work of Stephen King, Tom Clancy and J.K. Rowling. The streaming service will start off with two standalone TV series linked by a common storyline. They will be based on Golden Rain (1995) and Beyond the Rules (2015). Michael Sitzman (Artificial Intelligence) and Jason Richman (Bangkok Dangerous) will write and produce both projects that are currently in development but have not officially received the green light yet. Grisham will also serve as executive producer on the production.

The producers hope that getting to know the world of Grisham's books will be a unique experience for viewers: the series can be watched independently or in turn, thus getting acquainted with several sides of the story at the same time. The general idea of the universe is not to constrain its heroes with geographic boundaries. By itself, it may not be new, but, unlike other projects, a similar approach will be applied from the very beginning, and not under the influence of high ratings.

Hulu strives to implement this method ahead of other streaming platforms. Teleadaptation of "Wild Cards" by George R.R. Martina, two episodes of which are already in the works, will be filmed in the same format. Hulu's main rivals in this race are online service Netflix, which bought the rights to produce a series based on The Chronicles of Narnia in the fall, and Amazon, already working on a television version of The Lord of the Rings. Whoever is the winner in the next round of streaming wars, the viewer will win in any case.
