Apple TV+ has announced it’s adapting William Gibson’s Neuromancer into a 10-episode series. The novel debuted in 1984 and is largely thought to mark the birth of cyberpunk, which includes creations like The Matrix and Robocop. In fact, it’s crazy that it has taken four decades for it to get the Hollywood treatment.
Neuromancer follows “a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high stakes crime with his partner Molly, a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets,” a release states. The story is being brought to the small screen by Graham Roland (Dark Winds, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan) and JD Dillard (Devotion, Sweetheart), who will act as showrunner and director, respectively. Skydance Television and Anonymous Content will co-produce it with support from Drake’s DreamCrew Entertainment.
Production on Neuromancer has yet to start, so details like the cast and release date are still up in the air. In the meantime, you can check out the existing video game and graphic novel versions of Neuromancer and Amazon’s series, The Peripheral, based on another one of Gibson’s works and starring Chloë Grace Moretz.
