Netflix has scored the next adaptation from one of the most successful authors in history. The streaming platform will produce an adaptation ofThe Secret of Secrets, the next book byDan Brown.

Netflix selectedCarlton Cuseas the showrunner for the untitled series based onThe Secret of Secrets. Staffing for the project is currently underway, with the studio eager to move towards pre-production in the near future.
The Secret of Secretsis the next installment in the series of books centered around Robert Langdon. The acclaimed symbologist is constantly recruited to find hidden meaning in places where no one else would be able to detect a pattern. The book will be released on September 9.
