Margaret Atwood’s MaddAddam Trilogy Announced for Adaptation

It’s been quite the run for Margaret Atwood with two successful adaptations in the last year. The Handmaid’s Tale adaptation was widely applauded by viewers, and a season two will mean we finally get to find out what happens to Offred (it’s been a very long wait for some of us readers!), and the adaptation of Alias Grace was loved by many Netflix viewers.

Now it’s been announced that Atwood’s post-apocalyptic trilogy MaddAddam is to be adapted for television in a collaboration between Paramount Television and Anonymous Content. The same companies who worked on both the upcoming adaptation of Catch 22, and Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why. No network or streaming service has yet been announced for the series, which is yet to go into production.

Atwood’s Trilogy, which comprises the books Oryx and Crake, The Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam, is a post-apocalyptic series about a small group of survivors looking to build a new world after a global pandemic wipes out the human race.

Although we know the adaptation is for television, we don’t know what format the seasons will take. Will we see three books to three seasons, or will the producers be dragging it out for a little longer?

Sadly the only news we have right now is that it’s definitely going to be adapted, we’ll bring you more as you have it! The good news is that as it’s so early on in the adaptation process, you have plenty of time to read all three books before it hits the screens.
