Author set to adapt Mervyn Peake’s gothic fantasy series for TV, after years of talks

Neil Gaiman will help bring Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast books to the small screen after years of talks about a new adaptation of the gothic fantasy series.

Gaiman, who began discussions with studios about a film adaptation of Peake’s tale in 2015, will produce a television series instead.
