Game of Thrones author George RR Martin’s werewolf novella The Skin Trade will be made made into a TV series.
The Cinemax cable channel has ordered a pilot script for the series, reported Aceshowbiz .
Martin, 67, confirmed the news on his blog on October 10.
“I have always thought there was a TV series (or maybe a feature film) in Willie Flambeaux and Randi Wade,” he wrote, referencing to characters in his book.
“Those of you who know the story of Doorways , my ill-fated ABC pilot from the early 90s, may even recall that it was Skin Trade that I was actually trying to sell back in 1991, when I flew out to LA for a round of pitch meetings. So we’re a few decades late.”
The Skin Trade centres on Willie Flambeaux, a collections agent who happens to be a werewolf, and his friend, Randi Wade, a private investigator, who discover a dark secret behind a series of grisly murders in their decaying industrial city.
Kalinda Vazquez ( Prison Break ) will write the pilot and executive produce the show.
Martin will also serve as executive producer.
