Hans Rosenfeldt to adapt CJ Tudor’s ‘The Burning Girls’
Hans Rosenfeldt has found his new project – adapting CJ Tudor’s bestselling novel The Burning Girls into a TV series. Rosenfeldt will work with Marcella producer Buccaneer Media to adapt the book, who follows Reverend Jack Brooks and her daughter as they make a fresh start in Chapel Croft, but soon the close-knit community’s dark history begins to reveal itself.
Buccaneer co-CEO Wood says: “The Burning Girls is a terrific story; it’s very easy to see how CJ Tudor has risen to the top of the charts in pretty short order. Her ability to tell a truly gripping story is exceptional.”
Rosenfeldt adds: “I’ve been longing to get back to London and to work with Buccaneer again and when Tony sent me a copy of The Burning Girls I thought ‘Yes, this is what we should do!’ I loved the book, its characters, the setting, the horror elements and the many twists and surprises.”
