Warner Bros to Adapt Tahereh Mafi's Bestselling Dystopian YA Series SHATTER ME
Warner Bros has acquired the rights to Tahereh Mafi's bestselling dystopian young adult book series "Shatter Me" with plans to turn it into a big screen franchise. The deal arrives just in time for the 15th anniversary of the debut of "Shatter Me", the first book in the original series, which has become a BookTok phenomenon with over 15 million copies sold worldwide and more than 500,000 social posts with related hashtags.

The book follows Juliette Ferrars, a teenage girl with a lethal touch, as she takes on an oppressive totalitarian government called The Reestablishment, focusing on her journey as she discovers her power, finds strength and navigates a dystopian world of romance and rebellion.

The books have been published in 38 territories and 34 languages. Last year, Mafi released "Watch Me", the first book in a new series set in the "Shatter Me" universe, called "The New Republic". The book, which is set ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment, was an instant No. 1 New York Times bestseller and spent seven weeks at the top spot. The second book in the "New Republic" series, "Release Me", came out in April and also became an instant No. 1 bestseller. The third installment, "Escape Me" will be released in September.

Mafi said the following in a statement: "I've been tremendously lucky to have a devoted fanbase over the last fifteen years, and I'm excited for the chance to bring the 'Shatter Me' world and characters to life in a way that will honor the fans and their love for these books. Warner Bros. has been a great partner so far, and I'm looking forward to creating a memorable cinematic experience that elevates the series to new heights."

Producers include Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen for Temple Hill, Karen Rosenfelt for Sunswept Entertainment, Kevin McCormick for Langley Park Pictures. The project is the first announced under McCormick's new producing deal at the studio. Mafi will executive produce.
