With over 6 million copies sold and a sprawling universe that includes hits like “The Hawthorne Legacy” and the 2025 release “The Same Backward as Forward,” the series is a cornerstone of modern YA mystery. Barnes, who published her first novel at just 19 and has since authored over 20 books, joins the project as a producer.

According to Deadline, the scripted series follows Avery Grambs, a teenager with a clear plan for her future: survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. Her life takes an unexpected turn when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves her virtually his entire fortune. There’s just one problem: Avery has no idea why, or even who Hawthorne is.
Temple Hill Entertainment (“The Maze Runner,” “The Fault in Our Stars”) is executive producing the adaptation, under the supervision of Annika Patton.
