Julie Plec to Adapt Margaret Peterson Haddix’s Running Out of Time

Margaret Peterson Haddix’s Running Out of Time is being adapted into a series. Entitled, Clifton, the series, if greenlit, will premiere on Peacock.

The series follows 17-year-old Jazzie Smith, who was born and raised in the idyllic, island village of Clifton – a sanctuary for runaway slaves and others who fled the United States at the height of the Civil War. When a mysterious stranger from the mainland washes up on shore, Jazzie learns a truth about the island’s origins that shatters everything she thought she knew to be true.

This was one of my favorite books when I was younger, so I am interested to see what Plec does with it. For those who read the book, are you excited?
