HBO is developing a limited series based on Gillian Flynn’s bestselling novel Dark Places, with Flynn serving as co-creator and writer. The series will be a faithful adaptation of the source material and will allow the narrative to gradually build and explore mature and disturbing subject matter. Dark Places tells the story of Libby Day, the only survivor of a massacre in which her mother and two sisters were brutally murdered. The series will balance the story as it alternates between past and present-day timelines, culminating in riveting and shocking conclusions. With Flynn leading the development, the series has the potential to become one of HBO’s most exciting projects.
