Summary
- A+E Studios options Tom Ryan's latest novel "We Had a Hunch"
- Book follows former teen detectives drawn back together by a new murder
- Veteran producer Peter Johnson to develop the TV adaptation
In a major development, A+E Studios has optioned the latest novel from bestselling author Tom Ryan to adapt as a TV series. The book, titled "We Had a Hunch," is set to be produced by industry veteran Peter Johnson, known for his work on shows like "Supernatural" and "Nikita."
Published today, the novel is described as a gripping psychological thriller that reimagines the classic teen sleuth genre. It follows a group of former teen detectives whose fame took a tragic turn in 2000 when a brutal case left two dead and their nemesis, the "Janitor Killer," behind bars. Twenty-five years later, the friends - now scattered, scarred, and estranged - are drawn back together when a new murder echoes their past, and their imprisoned foe offers to help on one chilling condition.
"'We Had a Hunch' explores how the past haunts and reshapes us," said A+E Studios' Tana Jamieson. "We're thrilled to bring this compelling story to the screen alongside Tom and Peter." The author, who is also an executive producer on the project, expressed his excitement to see the characters come to life for a new audience.
