‘Serial‘ is continually proving to be the lil media-bending podcast that could: after last year becoming the world’s most downloaded podcast in history, the lovechild of NPR and host Sarah Koenig is set to be adapted for the small screen, according to a report from Deadline.
According to Deadline, the series won’t be a dramatic recreation of the events leading up to the murder of Hae Min Lee in 1999 (nor will it contain a LEGO brick treatment of Adnan Syed) – Miller and Lord will stray from Serial’s breakout first season altogether, and shed a light on the show’s producers, reporters and hosts instead – following the “making of” and BTS of Serial as it plumbs the depths of a new case.
Producer Julie Snyder welcomed the adaptation.
“Chris and Phil take an unexpected approach to telling stories and that is so appealing to us at Serial. Developing a show with them is exciting because we feel like we speak the same language, only they’re smarter than us.”
Our only hope? To see old mate portrayed on screen.
