Brock Media will work closely with Nelson on the television adaptation.<\/p>\n<p>Brock Media, launched in January 2022, has already worked on adapting several works for the screen, including Emma Jane Unsworth\u2019s <em>Animals<\/em> and Amy Liptrot\u2019s <em>The Outrun<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Small Worlds<\/em> is a contemporary masterpiece; thrilling, urgent and full of heart,\u201d said Sarah Brocklehurst, founder of Brock Media, whose credits include <em>The Outrun<\/em>, <em>Animals<\/em> and <em>Black Pond<\/em>. \u201cI had such a strong emotional response to the book, so it\u2019s an honor to have been entrusted with bringing it to the screen. Caleb is an incredible writer, and I have no doubt that <em>Small Worlds<\/em> will become an exceptional piece of television.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nelson added, \u201cI\u2019m so excited to be working with Brock Media to bring <em>Small Worlds<\/em> to the screen. Sarah and her team have showed such energy and enthusiasm toward the book and the emotional response has been palpable.
