All roads lead away from Ankh-Morpork, but sometimes people just walk along them the wrong way. At least, there’s a saying that there’s a saying that all roads lead to Ankh-Morpork. There’s a saying that all roads lead to Ankh-Morpork. Just remember to wash your hands afterwards!' - Terry Pratchett BBC Studios has been approached for comment.The first ever app set in the Discworld, from acclaimed bestselling author Terry Pratchett.
It is not known if the TV series will be a one-off or extend to further seasons.
The City Watch, a motley crew of characters led by the gruff but tenacious Commander Sam Vimes, first appear in the Discworld novel Guards! Guards! At least eight books in the series focus on their exploits, with plots that are structured like mysteries or crime novels, making them fan favourites. Gaiman also wrote the script for the adaptation, which is due to air in 2019.
The most recent adaptation of Pratchett’s work is a TV series based on the Neil Gaiman co-authored novel Good Omens, with David Tennant and Michael Sheen in lead roles. He died in 2015 at the age of 66 after a long, public battle with Alzheimer’s disease.Ī number of Pratchett’s novels have been adapted for TV and film, including the animated series Wyrd Sisters (1997) and Soul Music (1997) and the live action two-part series Hogfather (2006), The Colour of Magic (2008) and Going Postal (2010). Terry Pratchett wrote more than 70 books in his lifetime, the vast majority of them set on the fictional Discworld, a flat-earthed world set atop four elephants flying through space on the back of a giant turtle. Allen previously worked on the BBC show The Musketeers and the forthcoming series Das Boot. The Agency lists the show as a series of six one-hour episodes, and a coproduction between BBC Studios and Narrativia, the company launched by Pratchett in 2012 to control and manage the rights to his works, including Discworld. Allen’s involvement appeared to be confirmed by his agency, which lists the adaptation among his writing credits.
