Abrams is also expected to direct some of the episodes, taking a more hands-on approach to this property. The book is the “whirling debut novel” from author Nathan Hill and was described by Eliot Schrefer, in a review of the novel for USA Today, as “the debut of an important new writer”.

Abrams and Hill will executive produce the series, which is set up at Warner Bros. TV.
