It follows the friendship between James and Tully, which begins in 1986 in a small Scottish town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the very first page, Andrew\u2019s beautiful novel had me totally enthralled,&#8221; said Claire Mundell, founder and creative director at Synchronicity Films. &#8220;His depiction of a life-long friendship spanning the exuberance and promise of youth to the painful realities of later life is at once life-affirming, joyful and heart-breaking. In a time of turmoil, <em>Mayflies<\/em> is balm for the soul and will resonate with anyone who values the sustaining power of friendship. We cannot wait to bring this adaptation to the screen as a premium, prestige series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrew O\u2019Hagan added, \u201cI have been overwhelmed by the public response to <em>Mayflies<\/em> and feel it has found the perfect home with Synchronicity. Andrea Gibb is one of my favorite writers for television and producer Claire Mundell is second to none in her devotion to gripping, emotional, world-class drama. I look forward to supporting the production in every way I can and encouraging these brilliant people in their task of bringing to the screen my most personal novel yet. It\u2019s a story of friendship, loyalty, youth and growth, and Synchronicity has all the warmth and intelligence to make <em>Mayflies<\/em> into something special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrea Gibb added, \u201cClaire Mundell\u2019s Synchronicity is a brilliant Scottish production company and I\u2019m thrilled they&#8217;ve given me this opportunity to adapt Andrew O\u2019Hagan\u2019s beautiful and tender novel. <em>Mayflies<\/em> is a glorious evocation of youth, friendship and love. In Jimmy and Tully, Andrew has created vivid characters that are universally recognizable but also uniquely individual. It will be a joy to spend time with them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synchronicity Films, the outfit behind The Cry, is developing a limited series based on Andrew O&#8217;Hagan\u2019s latest novel, Mayflies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":13960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4141,1887],"class_list":["post-13959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-mayflies","tag-synchronicity-films","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Andrew O&#039;Hagan&#039;s Mayflies Gets Series Treatment - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/andrew-ohagans-mayflies-gets-series-treatment\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Andrew O&#039;Hagan&#039;s Mayflies Gets Series Treatment - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Synchronicity Films, the outfit behind The Cry, is developing a limited series based on Andrew O&#039;Hagan\u2019s latest novel, Mayflies.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/andrew-ohagans-mayflies-gets-series-treatment\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-10-21T13:51:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-10-21T17:16:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/Mayflies-cover-1020.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/andrew-ohagans-mayflies-gets-series-treatment\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/andrew-ohagans-mayflies-gets-series-treatment\/\",\"name\":\"Andrew O'Hagan's Mayflies Gets Series Treatment - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-10-21T13:51:50+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2020-10-21T17:16:23+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/andrew-ohagans-mayflies-gets-series-treatment\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/andrew-ohagans-mayflies-gets-series-treatment\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/andrew-ohagans-mayflies-gets-series-treatment\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Andrew O&#8217;Hagan&#8217;s Mayflies Gets Series Treatment\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
