Set in the near future, The Deep centers on a research station at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, where a miraculous discovery signals a new hope for humanity – but secrets unearthed on the ocean floor might hold devastating consequences for the world above.

The book was published by Simon & Schuster in 2015 and is not to be confused with the 1976 Peter Benchley novel or 1977 movie.

His Apple miniseries about a hospital during Hurricane Katrina, Five Days at Memorial, which he wrote with John Ridley, premiered in August.

Henrik Bastin and Melissa Aouate will serve as executive producers for Fabel Entertainment. The pair are exec producers of long-running Amazon series Bosch and its Freevee spinoff series Bosch: Legacy.
