Comcast to Reimagine Acclaimed Novel 'Meantime' as TV Series

In a move that has piqued the interest of fans, Comcast's broadcaster is planning to adapt the acclaimed novel "Meantime" for television. The project, described as a blend of "Withnail and I meets James Bond," is currently in development at Expectation, the BBC Studios-backed production company behind popular shows like "Clarkson's Farm" and "Alma's Not Normal."

Set in the city of Glasgow, "Meantime" follows the story of Valium addict Felix McAveety, who embarks on a quest for answers when his best friend Marina is found murdered in a local park. Teaming up with a colorful cast of characters, Felix's investigation takes him on a wild expedition that delves into Scottish politics, AI, cults, secret agents, smugglers, and even vegan record shops.

The novel, published by Hachette UK's John Murray Press in 2022, has been praised for its unique blend of genres and its offbeat, darkly comedic tone. With the Comcast-owned broadcaster now set to bring "Meantime" to the small screen, fans can look forward to a fresh interpretation of this intriguing story.
