Dalrymple’s brilliant book has the scale of ‘Game of Thrones,’ the internecine plotting of ‘Succession’ and a true-life intensity that begs to be dramatized. William Dalrymple is the author of nine books about India and the Islamic world, including Return of a King, which won the Hemingway Award and was shortlisted. 'The Anarchy' is packed with amazing characters, the highest possible stakes and a contemporary resonance that sees the weaponization of profit on a level that boggles the mind.
Brock said, as per Variety, “I’m incredibly excited to be able to adapt William Dalrymple’s all-encompassing history of India under the rise of the world’s first global commercial empire. Award-winning screenwriter Jeremy Brock will adapt 'The Anarchy' for screen. 'The Anarchy' was one of former US President Barack Obama's top 10 book recommendations earlier, and it was also nominated for the Baillie Gifford Prize in 2019. The latter was a dangerously unregulated private company, which was based miles away in a small office in London. In 'The Anarchy', Dalrymple tells the story of how the Mughal Empre, which was one of the most magnificent empires in the world, got disintegrated and was replaced by the British East India Company.
This will be 'an international co-production between Wiip and Roy Kapur Films to be produced across the U.S., U.K. Award-winning historian William Dalrymple's 2019 book 'The Anarchy' will be adapted into a series soon.
