Big Light Productions Options 29 Seconds

Big Light Productions has taken the rights to the novel 29 Seconds, written by T.M. Logan.

One Name (w.t.) is set to be a psychological revenge thriller that sees lecturer and single mother Sarah wrestle with the decision to have one person disappear from her life forever.

The series will be executive produced by Frank Spotnitz, CEO of Big Light Productions, and EJK Productions’ Elizabeth Kesses, along with Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements from Tomorrow Studios (One Piece, Physical). Big Light Productions will be taking One Name to MIPCOM for presales, with Spotnitz also speaking at the market.

Spotnitz said: “T.M. Logan is famed for his seriously addictive storytelling and gritty narratives that have audiences hooked worldwide, and 29 Seconds is no exception. It has three key things in abundance that make it perfect for an adaptation to a television drama: a sensational story, a strong IP with global appeal and, of course, it is hugely entertaining. Working together with our producing partners Elizabeth Kesses and Tomorrow Studios to adapt this thrilling piece of storytelling is incredibly exciting, and we look forward to bringing this development project to MIPCOM.”

Kesses added: “T.M. Logan novels are a gift for TV with propulsive storylines and gripping plot twists. The theme of sexual harassment in the workplace makes 29 Seconds such a unique thriller. Big Light are great partners with a real focus on excellence in writing that puts story at the heart of TV production.”
