The book that spawned the surprisingly entertaining movie ‘Holes’ is being reborn again as a TV series. Well, that’s what the Hollywood pitch-meisters are hoping for as they put together their presentation for the networks. Personally, I hope that the show does get greenlit, if only so that today’s parents can use it as an example for their kids as to what’ll happen to them the next time they shoplift a candy bar or skip school.

“Holes,” the bestselling young adult novel that was turned into a hit 2003 feature and more recently a stage play, is now being developed for the small screen.

“From the time I read the book, I thought it could be a TV series,” said Hatchery co-CEO Margaret Loesch. “It’s an incredible coming-of-age story, and a very popular book among youngsters and young adults, and on all of the reading lists at schools across the country.”

Loesch said the TV project would also have plenty of material to mine, as the movie only focused on a handful of the many characters found in the book.
