DARKOVER Sci-fi Novel Series Coming to Television

Variety reports that producers Ilene Kahn Power and Elizabeth Stanley have secured the rights to Marion Zimmer Bradley's highly popular sci-fi novel series DARKOVER.

The novels are set in a fictional solar system in which a planet known as 'Darkover' is "the only human-habitable planet of seven planets orbiting a fictional red giant star called Cottman. They detail the colonization on a new planet where the inhabitants begin their own species."

According to the report, Power and Stanley had convinced the estate of the late author that the twenty-book franchise would make a better television show than a feature film. The producers are currently shopping the series to various cable networks.
