Apple TV+ announces series based on sci-fi novel


Apple TV+ this week confirmed the production of another new series for its streaming catalog. The platform will adapt William Gibson’s popular science fiction novel “Neuromancer” for television in partnership with Drake’s DreamCrew Entertainment.

Sci-fi drama ‘Neuromancer’ coming to Apple TV+

As shared by the company, the new drama series “Neuromancer” will be based on the book of the same name. The first season, created by Graham Roland and JD Dillard, will have 10 episodes and will be produced by Skydance Television and Anonymous Content. DreamCrew Entertainment, the media company founded by Drake in 2017, will co-produce the show.

“The series will follow a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high stakes crime with his partner Molly, a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets,” Apple said in a press release.

“Neuromancer” is considered one of the first and most respected works in the cyberpunk genre and has received multiple awards, including the Nebula Award, the Philip K. Dick Award and the Hugo Award. The book was also the first in a triology of the same series, followed by “Count Zero” and “Mona Lisa Overdrive.”

Unfortunately, there are no details at this point as to when the show is expected to become available to Apple TV+ subscribers.
