Summary
- Streaming platform cancels 'Holes' TV series based on Newbery Medal novel.
- Shay Rudolph and Greg Kinnear were set to star in the gender-flipped adaptation.
- Liz Phang and Alina Mankin were executive producing the project.
A planned television series reimagining Louis Sachar's acclaimed 1998 novel "Holes" will not move forward. The streaming platform has officially decided against proceeding with the project, which was intended to put a gender-flipped spin on the original story.
The adaptation had already begun development, with Shay Rudolph cast in the lead role of a teenage girl sent to a detention camp. Greg Kinnear was slated to play a cruel warden, and Aidy Bryant was also attached to the cast. Liz Phang, known for her work on "Yellowjackets," was set to executive produce and showrun.
Sachar's "Holes" novel garnered prestigious awards, including a Newbery Medal and a National Book Award, and its 2003 film adaptation starred Shia LaBeouf. Despite the pilot order and established creative team, the series has now been shelved.
