A "female time travelling knight". Although there were reportedly some
female knights (rarely acknoweldged as such), this still stinks badly
of being just more "Politically Correct" / "Equality" garbage
manufactured to fulfil quotas. :-\



Netflix Adapting Best-Selling Fantasy Novel
About Time-Traveling Knight for TV
-------------------------------------------
Netflixajust won a bidding war for one of fantasy's most talked-about
novels. The streamer is adapting aatime-loop fantasyaabout a legendarya
knightaand aahistorianatangled across centuries.

Netflix's adaptation plans for the fantasy novel The Everlasting
Netflix is developing a series adaptation of Alix E. Harrow's
bestselling fantasy novel The Everlasting, Variety reported
exclusively. The streamer secured the rights in a competitive
situation. Daphne Ferraro, previously the head writer on Amazon's
Maxton Hall, will write the project.

Ferraro will also executive produce alongside Harrow, Tim Bevan, Eric
Fellner, Katy Rozelle and Lea Cuello. Universal Global Television is
producing the adaptation. The project remains in early development at
the streamer.

The novel follows a time-loop fantasy centered on Sir Una Everlasting,
a legendary female knight. Her story intertwines with Owen Mallory, a
struggling historian sent back through time. Together, they find
themselves bound to retell the same story repeatedly across centuries.

According to the official logline, Sir Una was "the orphaned girl who
became a knight, who died for queen and country." Owen, described as a
"failed soldier, struggling scholar," falls in love with her tale.
Their journey forces them to consider rewriting history itself to
change Una's fate.

Meanwhile, Ferraro brings strong genre credentials to the project
beyond her work on Maxton Hall. Her credits also include the acclaimed
German series Dark. Additionally, she is next set to create and showrun
Powerless, a YA romantasy trilogy for Amazon MGM Studios.

On the other hand, Harrow has built a strong reputation in the fantasy
genre through several acclaimed novels. Her previous works include
The Ten Thousand Doors of January, The Once and Future Witches and
Starling House. Circle Management + Production and Kate McKean at the
Howard Morhaim Literary Agency represent her.

Ultimately, if ordered to series, The Everlasting would join Netflix's
growing slate of book adaptations. That roster already includes hit
titles such as The Queen's Gambit, Bridgerton and Leave the World
Behind.
