Warner Bros. Television has acquired the rights, "in a competitive situation," to L.J. Smith's the Forbidden Game trilogy of horror YA novels for Berlanti Productions, which will adapt the books as TV series, Deadline reported. (Smith is the author of the Vampire Diaries novels, which WBTV developed into a hit series that aired for eight seasons on the CW.) The project will be executive produced by Berlanti Productions' Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and David Madden. A search is underway for a writer.
