Terry Pratchett’s The Watch: 13 60-Minute Episodes
The first projects on the slate are a pair of adaptations that were previously set up at Prime Focus. There’s a four-part mini-series version of Pratchett and Neil Gaiman‘s Good Omens, with Terry JonesandGavin Scott writing the scripts; and there’s an ongoing, procedural series set in Discworld’s Ankh Morpork, starring and named for The Watch, the city’s police force. This too has Jones and Scott on the writing team. We’ve previously called it CSI: Ankh Morpork, and that seemed to get the idea across.
The first series of The Watch is planned to run to thirteen episodes of sixty minutes each
Here’s the official blurb for The Watch:
As each weekly adventure unfolds, viewers will be taken on a ride through Pratchett’s genius imagination, with the author overseeing the creation of the series, where wild and exciting encounters with werewolves, dragons, dwarfs, trolls and golems and the classic heroes and villains, are an everyday occurrence…and where many of these characters even make outstanding crime fighters!
