FX adapting Kazuo Ishiguro novel Never Let Me Go as a TV series

Deadline

The Nevers writer Melissa Iqbal will adapt Ishiguro's 2005 dystopian romantic tragedy novel into a series 12 years after it was turned into a Mark Romanek-directed, Alex Garland-written 2010 film starring Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield. "As children, Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were students at Hailsham, an exclusive boarding school secluded in the English countryside," Deadline says of the series. "It was a place of mercurial cliques and mysterious rules where teachers were constantly reminding their charges of how special they were. Now, years later, Kathy is a young woman. Ruth and Tommy have re-entered her life. And for the first time she is beginning to look back at their shared past and understand just what it is that makes them special – and how that gift will shape the rest of their time together."
