Isaac Marion, the author of Warm Bodies, teases a potential television series adaptation of his genre-bending zombie-romance novel series: 'But they did option all four books for TV, so it's still possible.'
A potential television adaptation of Warm Bodies has been teased by the books' author. A zombie romance, Warm Bodies was written by author Isaac Marion in 2010, with a prequel novella and two sequel books published later on. In 2013, the original novel was adapted into a feature film starring Nicholas Hoult and Teresa Palmer. The film received fairly positive reviews, with many commending Warm Bodies for showing a different side to the zombie genre.
In an interview with Syfy, Marion teases a potential television adaptation of Warm Bodies that would encompass his entire series of books. Marion says that, initially, there were talks of creating a sequel to the film, but that the "movie sequel morphed into a TV series." While a television adaptation of Warm Bodies was announced to be in development several years ago, there haven't been any updates since.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY "There was a time when it seemed like a sure thing, contracts were drawn up, etc., but for some reason, it keeps sliding around. Talks of a movie sequel morphed into a TV series, which was actually announced as 'in development' a couple of years ago, only to mysteriously go silent. I'm only peripherally involved at this point, so I don't actually know what's going on behind the scenes. It's all a big tease for me.
While the Warm Bodies film was fairly well-received and a box office success, it only covers the events of one book in Marion's four-book series. As Marion mentions above, that is only a small fraction of the series, so there is plenty more that could be covered in a TV adaptation, even if it cannot bring back Hoult and Palmer. The prequel novel to Warm Bodies, entitled The New Hunger, follows protagonist Julie as her family tries to survive in a newly-apocalyptic America.
Though there hasn't been any movement on the Warm Bodies TV series, the adaptation was announced only one year before the pandemic began, and it's not surprising that the show might've been shelved while Lionsgate dealt with other projects. However, with Marion still confirming that he's interested in the series going through, and reminding Warm Bodies fans about the project's existence, this could be the boost that the series needs to begin development again.
