Leonardo DiCaprio is turning Aldous Huxley’s final novel Island into a TV series

Variety

The acclaimed writer's 1962 novel Island was written as a utopian counterpoint to his most famous work, the 1932 dystopian novel Brave New World, which was recently turned into a Peacock series. Island "follows a cynical journalist shipwrecked on the fictional utopian island of Pala in the Indian Ocean," per Variety. "Originally tasked with exploiting Pala’s natural resources, he uncovers an independently developed society and embraces the people, their culture and traditions — including psychedelic adventures and alternative social structures. His experience alters the course of his mission."
