The buzz is building for the television adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s novel American Gods that is currently in production at Starz. However, that’s not the only Neil Gaiman novel that is coming to a television near you.

Hamilton producer Jeffrey Seller is bringing InterWorld, a YA novel written by Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves, to the small screen. It will be developed by Universal Cable Productions, a subsidiary of NBCUniversal. If you’re not familiar with the world of InterWorld, check out the synopsis from HarpersCollins:

InterWorld tells the story of Joey Harker, a very average kid who discovers that his world is only one of a trillion alternate earths. Some of these earths are ruled by magic. Some are ruled by science. All are at war.

Joey teams up with alternate versions of himself from an array of these worlds. Together, the army of Joeys must battle evil magicians Lord Dogknife and Lady Indigo to keep the balance of power between all the earths stable. Teens—and tweens and adults—who obsessively read the His Dark Materials and Harry Potter series will be riveted by InterWorld and its sequel, The Silver Dream.

Sounds like a pretty exciting premise. If you’d like to catch up on the story, you can grab the novel over at Amazon.
