Abraham and Franck are set to have an even bigger role in the developing adaptation of their current book series, The Captive’s War. In 2024, they formed a production company, Expanding Universe, to produce the show, and they already have a development deal with Amazon. But the duo tells Polygon that knowing they’re writing for the screen as well as the page this time around didn’t change their plotting or process at all — which is going to cause a lot of problems in adapting the series for TV.

It’s exciting to hear about the new sci-fi show from the creators of The Expanse! Adapting complex stories can be a challenge, but it’s also an opportunity for creativity. Looking forward to seeing how they approach this project!
