Alexis Soloski’s Here in the Dark is headed to the small screen, Deadline reports.

Soloski’s debut novel, published in 2023 by Flatiron, follows an actor–turned–theater critic who investigates the disappearance of a man who interviewed her. A critic for Kirkus wrote of the novel, “Like Dorothy Parker, the narrator’s role model, this book is almost too clever for its own good.”

Novelist Megan Abbott (You Will Know Me, Beware the Woman), who wrote for and executive produced the television adaptation of her 2012 novel, Dare Me, will write and executive produce the Here in the Dark adaptation, which is being developed by Lionsgate Television. Also executive producing will be Taffy Brodesser-Akner, who created and wrote the television adaptation of her 2019 novel, Fleishman Is in Trouble, and who is writing the planned Apple adaptation of her 2024 novel, Long Island Compromise.

Soloski shared news of the adaptation on the social platform X, writing “I love a twist!” and calling Abbott “a noir sorceress and an absolute dream.”

Abbott gave a shoutout to Soloski and Brodesser-Akner on Instagram, writing, “Very excited to be adapting this dark and stunning novel by @soloskialexis, with the powerhouse @taffyakner as EP, no less! A noir tale for noir times.”
