On the 3rd of February 2015, Deb announced that the BBC has picked up the Trilogy for production of the series: Deb Harkness' BBC Announcement.
On the 12th of April 2015, she gave a spring update: All Things All Souls: Spring Update. Here's what she said about the production then:
"BBC SERIES NEWS: Yes, it’s true! The BBC purchased the option on the entire All Souls Trilogy early in the year. At the moment, we’re thinking through how the books will be adapted to the screen so that writing can commence. After scripts are in, the BBC will decide if they want to proceed to filming. Then directors will be hired, locations and studio space arranged. Then, and only then, will casting begin. As you see, we are still a long, long way away from answering the question you all want answered: “who will play Diana and Matthew?” During this long process of development, you will get impatient and feel that you are in an information drought. It is true that there is a great deal going on behind the scenes, but we are not keeping things from you to be difficult or whip you into a frenzy. Making something on the scale of the All Souls Trilogy is a complicated business, and things shift and change all the time. When there is something definite to share, the BBC will share it. Until then, please know that everything is percolating beautifully, the team working on the project is absolutely first rate, and there is great excitement as the television adaptation begins to take shape. Stay tuned!"
In May and June of 2015-- during her US book tour -- she got many questions about the BBC production. Summarized: The All Souls Trilogy is in development. That means they are working with the story - deciding what stays, what can be let go, how it's going to look, selecting writers, directors, etc. - getting green lit and funded. Basically, they are laying the groundwork. It'll be a while until we get to casting and show schedules.
Now you know what we do!
We will eventually add fantasy casting and other sections! Remember, fantasy casting is just that...fantasy! (I'm telling myself that more than anyone else!)
With that in mind, post away!
