Louise O’Neill has revealed a major production company has bought the rights to her popular novel, After The Silence.
The best-selling book follows a documentary crew, as they look into the death of a young girl at a party on the island of Inisrun 10 years prior.
She broke the news on Twitter expressing her excitement about its pick-up.
Some news... I’m delighted that Tiger Aspect (the production team behind Peaky Blinders, and other incredible shows) have bought the film and TV rights to #AfterTheSilence.
I can’t wait to see what they do with this adaption! https://t.co/7pXXebynmL
