Red Planet Pictures, the company behind Death in Paradise, just announced a new crime thriller coming to television. The show will be based on It’s Not What You Think, the latest novel by popular author Clare Mackintosh. Kam Odedra, known for her work on shows like All Her Fault, Hijack, Lupin, and McDonald & Dodds, is writing the adaptation.
“It’s Not What You Think” is a suspenseful psychological thriller that follows Nadeeka Prasanna and Detective Chief Inspector Lauren Caldwell. Their lives unexpectedly collide when Nadeeka’s world is thrown into chaos, forcing them to work together.
As the story unfolds, two women pursue separate investigations that quickly lead them into dangerous and unexpected territory, all while a ticking clock adds to the pressure. Everyone is hiding something, but only one person holds the key to the truth, and the reality of the situation is far more surprising than it seems.
What to Read Next
Clare Mackintosh, the award-winning author of “It’s Not What You Think,” says this novel is her most challenging thriller to date. She’s thrilled to be working with Red Planet Pictures, who she believes are the ideal production partner, and is delighted that Kam Odedra is involved in the project.
Belinda Campbell, Co-CEO of Red Planet Pictures, also commented on the news, praising Clare as a popular author who expertly builds suspense and surprises readers. She highlighted that Clare’s new book, It’s Not What You Think, continues this tradition of unexpected twists and turns.
We’re delighted Clare has chosen us to create the TV series and are very impressed with Kam’s unique and captivating vision for it. As a highly skilled and insightful thriller writer, Kam is the ideal person to adapt this story for television…
Red Planet Pictures creates shows set in various fictional worlds, including the popular BBC series Death in Paradise, which is currently in its fifteenth season. Both Beyond Paradise and Return to Paradise have also resonated well with viewers.
The company also acquired the rights to bring viewers Sanditon, a series based on Jane Austen’s last, unfinished novel, and the thriller Our House, which features Martin Compston, known for his role in Line of Duty.
It’s Not What You Think sounds like it’s going to be one to keep an eye out for.
