    ABC Teams With CSI Veterans on New Crime Series Adaptation
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    ABC has partnered with CSI veterans to adapt a bestselling
    crime-thriller book series into a TV show. It will be based
    on Andrew Mayne's popular novels.

    Andrew Mayne's bestselling crime novels are headed to ABC
    Andrew Mayne's The Naturalist book series is being adapted
    into a TV series by ABC, according to Variety. The
    adaptation is now in active development.

    The upcoming series has been described as a procedural that
    focuses on a "brilliant but socially estranged biologist who
    uses the laws of animal behavior to hunt human predators."
    A key element of the story is that the protagonist harbors
    mysteries of his own, and he turns every case into a study
    of himself.

    Andrew Karlsruher, who has worked previously on MacGyver and
    CSI: Cyber, will write The Naturalist alongside Danny Cannon,
    who directed the original CSI pilot. He has also
    executive-produced and directed pilots for shows including
    Nikita, Gotham, and Pennyworth.

    Cannon is also an executive producer on ABC's upcoming TV
    show alongside Peter Jaysen and Alan Gasmer. Andy Cutler is
    serving as the producer.

    The Naturalist book series kicked off in 2017 with the first
    part. Its sequels include 2018's Looking Glass, 2019's Murder
    Theory, and Dark Pattern, which was also published in 2019.
    The series has been an Amazon Charts bestseller. The first
    novel in the franchise was even nominated for an International
    Thriller Writers Award in the best original paperback novel
    category in 2019.

    Besides The Naturalist, author Andrew Mayne has written other
    books as well, such as The Girl Beneath the Sea and Angel
    Killer. His next book, The Session, will be published in
    October 2026.

    The Naturalist has yet to receive an official release date
    window. The upcoming series comes from Veritas Entertainment,
    a media and entertainment company that was founded by Jaysen
    and Gasmer.
