If you loved Bong Joon Ho‘s English-language debut Snowpiercer that was on many year-end favorites lists, including the lists of some of Geeks of Doom’s own contributors, more stories set in that world might be on the way.

It’s being reported that the rights to the film have been optioned, with the intention of adapting it into a new TV series. Marty Adelstein‘s Tomorrow Studios optioned the rights to adapt the movie into a new show, and Josh Friedman has been set to write the script.

Of the announcement, Adelstein had this to say:

With Friedman adding:

Previous TV shows that Friedman has been a part of include Terminator: The Sarach Connor Chronicles, which he created, wrote, and executive produced; The Finder, which he wrote an episode of and was a consulting producer on; and the pirate adventure drama Crossbones, which he wrote an episode of and was a co-executive producer on. He also executive produced and wrote the pilot episode for the Locke & Key TV series that never was, and is an executive producer on the Wizard of Oz miniseries Emerald City. Movie screenplays he’s worked on include Chain Reaction, Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds, Brian De Palma’s The Black Dahlia, and James Cameron’s Avatar 2 and Avatar 3.

No word yet on what network this potential show might air on or when we might see it arrive on our television screens.
