Ranch Romance Series Bound for TV Screens

Romance author Lyla Sage is seeing her popular Rebel Blue Ranch series adapted for television by Universal TV. While the project is in early development, a writer has been secured, and a preliminary outline for the first season exists. The adaptation aims to follow a structure similar to other book-to-screen projects, focusing on individual love stories within the first season.

Sage also writes supernatural romance, with her duology set in Sweetwater Peak. The first book, Soul Searching, was published in 2025. Its companion novel, Free Falling, is scheduled for release on September 22, 2026. This book centers on Clarke Cartwright, one of twin sisters who can communicate with ghosts in their small town, as she navigates family dynamics and a potential new romance.

Sage emphasizes the importance of establishing her fictional towns as central characters. She believes that a strong introduction to the town and its inhabitants, like Collins in her first book, creates essential lore for readers. This approach helps readers become familiar with the setting before delving into subsequent stories, such as Clarke's in Free Falling. Sage is also reflecting on her rapid success and plans to maintain her creative drive while enjoying her accomplishments.
