Book-to-TV Development

Stories with room to unfold.

Some books need more space than a film allows. Television and limited series can hold multiple storylines, larger casts and longer arcs.

Phoenix helps you explore a series format for your story, including how it could be structured across episodes and seasons. Book-to-screen work is exploratory. Phoenix helps you prepare and pursue opportunities, but no service can guarantee representation, adaptation, sale, financing, production or placement.

What Phoenix can help with

• Series Format Exploration

  Consider limited series, ongoing series or streaming formats.

• Season Arc Outline

  Map how the story could unfold across a first season.

• Episode Concepts

  Develop sample episode ideas that show the series' shape.

• World & Cast Mapping
