Fans of the novel have been eagerly waiting for the film adaptation, which was originally optioned by Studiocanal and Blueprint Pictures in 2020.
The film will be directed by Garth Davis, who previously worked with Pugh on East of Eden.
Laura Wade and Nick Payne will pen the screenplay for The Midnight Library.
The Midnight Library will go into pre-production this autumn, with the team hoping to start shooting at the beginning of 2027.
According to Deadline, Garth Davis said he cannot wait to work with Pugh again.
He shared, "I couldn’t be more excited to reunite with Florence Pugh on ‘The Midnight Library'. Her warmth and talent are magical, and together, I know we’ll do something special working with Matt’s iconic novel.
"This is a story that moves us both — a celebration of life in all its possibilities and complexity. With Graham Broadbent, Blueprint Pictures, and Studiocanal behind us, I can’t wait to illuminate this adventure," he added.
Over 15 million copies of The Midnight Library have been sold worldwide.
Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, and realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist, she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.

While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?
