“Freshwater” may be heading to the small screen. A series inspired by Akwaeke Emezi’s celebrated debut novel is in “early development” at FX, Variety reports.

The 2018 book follows Ada, “a Nigerian student in her final year of college who finds out that she has three spirits living in her subconscious,” the source summarizes. “They eventually take control of her, threatening to ruin her life and sanity.”

Emezi will be directly involved with the project — they’ll write and exec produce alongside Tamara P. Carter, who has previously served as a writer on “The Leftovers” and “The Fosters.”

A finalist for the NYPL Young Lions Award, the Lambda Literary Award for Transgender Fiction, and the Edmund White Award for Debut Fiction, “Freshwater” has been translated into eight languages.

“It’s an autobiographical novel — a breath away from being a memoir,” Emezi has said. “There are chapters in there that are my journal entries which I copied and pasted. There are a couple of things about writing it this way: first, the things that people think are fictionalized are not fictionalized. Second, I wanted to make clear it was autobiography, otherwise it would be considered to be very fantastical.” They explained, “I wanted readers to be sure that it was not magical realism or speculative fiction. It’s what has actually happened! I’m using fiction as a filter for it.”

“PET,” Emezi’s first YA novel, is scheduled to hit shelves this September. The book tells the story of best friends whose lives are changed by a monster.
