Screenwriter Glen Laker is attached as showrunner for the adaptation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an incredibly important and exciting project for us, and we are thrilled to be partnering with Clare-Louise and Jo at Hot Coals,\u201d said Berna Levin, creative director for Yellow Bird UK. \u201cWith the Deaf community at the heart of these books, it will allow us to bring underrepresented talent in the TV industry to the forefront\u2014both in front and behind the scenes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clare-Louise English and Jo Sargeant of Hot Coals Productions, commented, \u201cSo often on TV and film, a Deaf character is parachuted into a hearing story, with no other Deaf people around them. With these stories set firmly within the Deaf community, it gives us an opportunity to show the breadth of Deafness and the huge variation in lived experiences. From the moment we read Nell\u2019s books, we knew we had to make them into a TV series, and we are so excited to be partnering with Yellow Bird, who understand the importance of representation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thrilled that Yellow Bird UK and Hot Coals Productions will be working together on this project, and I\u2019m excited to see their vision for bringing my novels to the screen,\u201d Pattison said. \u201cAs Clare-Louise is the primary narrator for the audiobooks of these novels, I feel she knows the characters as well as I do, so I know they\u2019re in safe hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laker added, \u201cIt is a privilege to be working with Yellow Bird UK and Hot Coals in bringing Nell\u2019s timely, thrilling novels to the screen. Deafness has always played an important role in my family. My youngest son is Deaf, so representation of the culture in TV and film has become a personal pursuit. I have been fortunate to write Deaf characters into episodes of <em>Vera<\/em>, <em>The Good Karma Hospital<\/em> and <em>The Chelsea Detective<\/em>. On the <em>Silent<\/em> series, I am looking forward to working with Deaf talent in the writers\u2019 room. Together, we will create a gritty, compulsive thriller that I believe all audiences will tune into.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yellow Bird UK, part of Banijay UK, and Hot Coals Productions have signed a deal to develop and co-produce an adaptation of Nell Pattison\u2019s series of books\u2014The Silent House, Silent Night and The Silent Suspect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":17979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[5481,5594,5595,5596,5597,5598,2850],"class_list":["post-17978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-berna-levin","tag-clare-louise-english","tag-glen-laker","tag-hot-coals-productions","tag-jo-sargeant","tag-nell-pattison","tag-yellow-bird-uk","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Yellow Bird UK &amp;
