HBO is developing a half-hour, sci-fi series based on Adam Silvera's novel, They Both Die at the End, per The Hollywood Reporter.

The project hails from Chris Kelly (The Other Two), J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot (Castle Rock, Westworld), Ben Stephenson, Rachel Rusch, and Warner Bros. TV. Kelly will pen the script.

They Both Die at the End is set in the near-future where everyone receives a bureaucratic phone call notifying them at the start of their last day on Earth, They Both Die at the End follows a seemingly disparate group of people as they live their scary, funny, weird, hopeful, romantic, and unexpected final hours, all connected through the two teenage boys at the heart of the New York Times best-selling novel on which it is based.


Below is the synopsis of the novel per Goodreads.

On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today.

Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day.
