eOne Buys TV Rights for The Architecture of Heaven Novel

LOS ANGELES: Entertainment One (eOne) has acquired the television rights to science writer Holly Cave’s forthcoming novel The Architecture of Heaven.

The Architecture of Heaven is set in a near-future London, where humans can create artificial heavens before they die, formed from the best memories of their lives. eOne will serve as the lead production studio for the series and controls worldwide rights.

Groundswell Productions, founded by Oscar-nominated producer Michael London, will produce. London joins forces once again with eOne after a successful collaboration on the feature film Trumbo. The novel The Architecture of Heaven is due out in 2018 from Quercus Books in the U.K.

“The Architecture of Heaven is an imaginative and thrilling story that will draw viewers into a world that explores science and moral boundaries,” said Pancho Mansfield, the president of global scripted programming at eOne Television. “This is a project we knew we needed to get from the instant we read the book and we are delighted to be taking it to the next level. We’re very excited to work with Michael to bring Holly Cave’s provocative story to life.”
