Amazon MGM Studios to Adapt Steve Berry’s Cotton Malone Series

Variety reports that Amazon MGM Studios is developing a TV series based on Steve Berry’s Cotton Malone books, a collection of 18 bestselling novels starting with ‘The Templar Legacy’ in 2006 up to ‘The Atlas Maneuver’ released in February 2024.

With over 15 million copies sold worldwide, the books follow the adventures of Cotton Malone, a former U.S. Justice Department agent turned antiquarian book dealer.

Malone is drawn back into the fold to uncover deep-seated secrets that threaten the future of the U.S. His quest leads him to thrilling international escapades, tackling enemies both foreign and domestic.

Brian Young, who created ‘Fate: The Winx Saga’ for Netflix and has worked on ‘The Vampire Diaries,’ will write and executive produce the series.

Steve Berry, alongside Patrick Moran and Lynley Bird of PKM Productions, is also set to executive produce under their overall deal with Amazon MGM Studios.

Amazon Prime Video has successfully launched several adaptations of book series, such as ‘Reacher’ and ‘The Wheel of Time,’ and continues to expand its portfolio with anticipated shows like ‘Cross’ and ‘Scarpetta.’
