The 10-episode series hails from co-creators Graham Roland and JD Dillard. Roland will also serve as showrunner, while Dillard will direct the pilot. Skydance Television will co-produce with Anonymous Content.<\/p>\n

Per the official logline, the series \u201cwill follow a damaged, top-rung super-hacker named Case who is thrust into a web of digital espionage and high stakes crime with his partner Molly, a razor-girl assassin with mirrored eyes, aiming to pull a heist on a corporate dynasty with untold secrets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly excited to be bringing this iconic property to Apple TV+,\u201d said Roland and Dillard in a joint statement. \u201cSince we became friends nearly ten years ago, we\u2019ve looked for something to team up on, so this collaboration marks a dream come true. Neuromancer has inspired so much of the science fiction that\u2019s come after it and we\u2019re looking forward to bringing television audiences into Gibson\u2019s definitive \u2018cyberpunk\u2019 world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roland and Dillard also serve as executive producers on the series alongside David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance Television. Anonymous Content will also executive produce along with Drake, Adel \u201cFuture\u201d Nur, and Jason Shrier for DreamCrew Entertainment, as well as Zack Hayden and Gibson.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeuromancer\u201d was Gibson\u2019s debut novel that helped birth the cyberpunk genre. It was first published in 1984 and went on to receive a Hugo Award, a Nebula Award, and the Philip K. Dick Award. The book led Gibson to publish two follow-ups, \u201cCount Zero\u201d and \u201cMona Lisa Overdrive.\u201d There have been various attempts over the years to adapt the book into a film though none have ultimately moved forward.<\/p>\n

This marks the latest Gibson work to be adapted for the screen. Most recently, Amazon debuted a series version of Gibson\u2019s novel \u201cThe Peripheral\u201d starring Chlo\u00eb Grace Moretz. Gibson has also written for Hollywood, including the screenplay for the film \u201cJohnny Mnemonic,\u201d based on his short story of the same name.<\/p>\n

Roland recently created the AMC series \u201cDark Winds\u201d and co-created Amazon\u2019s \u201cJack Ryan\u201d series. His other writing credits include \u201cFringe,\u201d \u201cAlmost Human,\u201d \u201cLost,\u201d and \u201cPrison Break.\u201d Dillard has previously written and directed features such as \u201cSweetheart\u201d and \u201cSleight\u201d and directed episodes of shows like \u201cThe Outsider\u201d and \u201cUtopia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roland is repped by WME, Circle of Confusion, and attorney Michael Schenkman. Dillard is repped by CAA, Circle of Confusion, and attorneys Lev Ginsburg and Grace Kallis. Gibson is repped by Sterling Lord Literistic, Inc. and Berkley\/Ace, an imprint of Penguin Random House.<\/p>\n
