A V for Vendetta TV series is in the works at HBO.

Variety details in their exclusive report, “According to sources, Pete Jackson is attached to write the series adaptation. James Gunn and Peter Safran of DC Studios will executive produce, as will Ben Stephenson via Poison Pen and Leanne Klein of Wall to Wall Media, which is part of Warner Bros. Television Studios UK. Warner Bros. Television will produce.”

“The story is set in Britain in a dystopian, not-too-distant future in which the country is controlled by the fascistic Norsefire party,” the outlet goes on to remind. “An anarchist named V, known for his distinctive Guy Fawkes mask, seeks to topple the government with the help of Evey Hammond, a young woman V rescued from the country’s secret police.”

The 2006 political action thriller based on the graphic novel and produced by the Wachowskis stars Natalie Portman as Evey, a young working-class woman rescued from the secret police by a masked freedom fighter known only as V (Hugo Weaving), who is leading a plot to take down the oppressors in dramatic fashion.

Directed by James McTeigue, the film also stars Stephen Rea, John Hurt, Stephen Fry, Tim Pigott-Smith, Rupert Graves, Roger Allam, Ben Miles and Sinéad Cusack.
