The debut by author Vauhini Vara made a number of best of 2022 lists.
follows an Indian entrepreneur who, in the near future, becomes the most accomplished tech CEO in the world and eventually the leader of a global, corporate-led government. In a future in which the world is run by the Board of Corporations, King’s daughter, Athena, reckons with his legacy — literally, as he’s given her access to his memories, among other questionable gifts.
“We’re thrilled that Vauhini has entrusted us with this riveting, visionary global thriller, and we couldn’t be more excited about Madhuri adapting,” said Wiip’s Josh Stern. “We’ve been fans of Madhuri’s for years — as soon as we read the novel, we knew it would be great in her hands.” Added Shekar, “I’m beyond excited to help bring Vauhini’s audacious novel to television. This is a story that tackles climate change, late-stage capitalism and the surveillance state through a beautifully complicated father-daughter story, one about hope and hurt, estrangement and redemption. I can’t wait to dive in and adapt this uniquely global, cross-cultural, ambitiously epic tale.”
The Immortal King Rao is the latest acquisition for Wiip, which late last year snagged rights to the culinary/media satire
