若我们皆为恶人 If We Were Villains

John Morayniss’ Blink49 Studios and Sex Education producer Eleven are working up a series adaptation of author M.L. Rio‘s novel If We Were Villains.

The book, a suspenseful thriller set in an exclusive arts conservatory, has sold more than 180,000 copies in English since publishing in 2017 and is available in 14 languages.

If We Were Villains follows seven young Shakespearean actors at an elite college where competition is fierce, rivalry is dangerous, and the line between life and art is dangerously thin. When tragedy strikes in their final year and one turns up dead, the others face their greatest acting challenge yet: persuading the police, and themselves, that they are blameless.
