Australian production company ‘Easy Tiger’, known for the comedy series ‘Colin From Accounts’, has secured the television rights to Dervla McTiernan’s bestselling psychological thriller ‘Three Reasons for Revenge’.
According to Deadline, following a competitive bidding process, Shaun Grant, whose credits include ‘The Narrow Road to the Deep North’ and ‘Snowtown’, has been attached to write the television adaptation. No broadcaster or streaming platform is currently attached, and Easy Tiger will now take the project to market.
Published earlier this year, ‘Three Reasons for Revenge’ quickly topped Australia’s bestseller charts. The novel follows three seemingly unrelated people whose lives become entangled through deceit and unresolved wounds. Its story begins when mysterious gifts, each tailored to its recipient, arrive at three different homes in Melbourne, setting off a chain of devastating events.
Grant said he immediately envisioned the book as a television series, praising its carefully crafted plot and unexpected twists.
Easy Tiger chief executive Rob Gibson also welcomed the project, describing McTiernan as a master of gripping thriller narratives and Grant as an ideal choice to bring the novel to the screen.
Several of McTiernan’s previous works have been optioned for screen adaptations, including her debut novel ‘The Ruin’, as well as ‘What Happened to Nina?’ and ‘The Murder Rule’.
Easy Tiger has produced several notable Australian television projects, including legal drama ‘The Twelve’, mystery thriller ‘Scrublands’, Netflix series ‘Territory’, and ‘Rake’. ‘Colin From Accounts’, created by and starring Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, concluded its run after three seasons, gaining audiences in the UK and the US.
