Many have tried to adapt the book for film in the past, but to no avail. A TV series seems a better fit, though.

Netflixwill be bringing its epic sci-fi book adaptation,3 Body Problem,to our screens later this month, which is great, but Apple has announced an equivalent series that we’ve wanted since the mid-80s.

TheApple TV+streaming serviceis getting a 10-episode adaptation of William Gibson’s groundbreaking cyberpunk novel,Neuromancer.

Roland will serve as showrunner while Dillard will direct the first episode. There’s no word yet on casting or release date. Considering how much special effects work will invariably need to be done, we don’t expect we’ll see anything on Apple TV+ until later 2025 at the earliest.

“We’re incredibly excited to be bringing this iconic property to Apple TV+,” said the co-creators.

“Neuromancerhas inspired so much of the science fiction that’s come after it and we’re looking forward to bringing television audiences into Gibson’s definitive cyberpunk world.”

The streaming home of sci-fi

Apple TV+ is truly making its mark as the streaming home of sci-fi TV, with a growing number of much-loved series available on the platform or yet to come.Foundation,For All Mankind,Silo,Severance,Invasionand, more recently,Constellationhave each found a solid fan base, with many also rating very highly on Rotten Tomatoes.

Apple also recently announced that it is to bring a TV adaptation ofThe Murderbot Diariesto the service in the future, which shows its continued support for the genre.

But even among such lofty company,Neuromanceris a major coup. The first novel in William Gibson’s Sprawl trilogy was first released in 1984 to enormous critical success. There have been attempts to adapt it to film in the past, with the most recent coming from the director of Deadpool, Tim Miller, but none have seen the light of day.

Thankfully, Apple TV+ will finally bring us a series we’ve wanted in years. Let’s just hope the wait was worth it.
