JK Rowling’s novel The Cuckoo’s Calling is going to be adapted by BBC One for the small screen.
The book, written by Rowling under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith, is the first in a series about detective Cormoran Strike.
Danny Cohen, director of BBC Television, said: “It’s a wonderful coup for BBC Television to be bringing JK Rowling’s latest books to the screen.
“With the rich character of Cormoran Strike at their heart, these dramas will be event television across the world.”
The Cuckoo’s Calling was published last year. The sequel, entitled The Silkworm, was then released earlier this year.
