Wells&#8217; <em>War of the Worlds<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Urban Myth Films, in association with STUDIOCANAL, the eight-part drama has already begun preproduction. Set in present-day Europe, the series is written and created by BAFTA Award winner Howard Overman (<em>Misfits<\/em>, <em>Crazyhead<\/em>, <em>Merlin<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>Beginning production in the fall, the drama will debut in 2019 on Canal+ in France along with broadcasting on FOX in more than 50 countries across Europe and Africa. International sales will be handled by STUDIOCANAL, with rights in Europe and Africa (excluding French-speaking territories) handled by Fox Networks Group Content Distribution.<\/p>\n<p>Overman said: &#8220;In many ways, H.G. Wells\u2019 novel is a cautionary tale of racial superiority and ethnic conflict. It is these themes that I wanted to explore more fully in my modern reimagining. I look forward to bringing our bold, fresh and relatable version, inspired by this much-loved story to a new audience.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canal+ and Fox Networks Group (FNG) Europe &#038; Africa have teamed up for a series adaptation of H.G.
