He has been trying his hand at fantasy of late, penning Viaplay’s adaptation of Ronja the Robber’s Daughter, and recently told Deadline he has stopped watching crime shows.

The project represents a return to the crime thriller genre for Swedish auteur Rosenfeldt. Tudor has been called “Britain’s female Stephen King” by newspapers and Buccaneer, the prolific drama indie run by Tony Wood and Richard Tulk-Hart, is also adapting her novel The Drift for TV, although Rosenfeldt isn’t attached to that project. Fast-forward to 2016 and Eddie thinks he has put the past behind him, before he gets a letter in the mail, containing a single chalk stick figure. But then a mysterious chalk man leads them right to a dismembered body, and nothing is ever the same. Starting in 1986, the book follows Eddie “Munster” Adams, who spends his days biking around a sleepy English village exchanging secret codes via little chalk stick figures with his friends. We hear a network deal for The Chalk Man is close.
