A24 UK has won a competitive bidding process for the rights to adapt HappyHead author Josh Silver’s debut adult novel “Fruit Fly” as a TV series.
The story follows Mallory, a wealthy literary sensation who, after years of struggling with writer’s block, is desperate to revive her career before it slips into obscurity.
Inspiration strikes her in the form of Leo, a young gay addict sleeping under bridges and trading sex for survival, who is exactly what Mallory has been looking for.
The story is dubbed a “provocative literary satire that explores privilege, modern queer identity, and the moral exploitation of pain in the publishing industry”.
Silver is both a former actor and mental health nurse, and his book hit UK shelves back in April ahead of hitting US bookstores next week.
His previous work “HappyHead” was optioned for the screen in 2023 by Taron Egerton and Range Media Partners.
