Exclusive: Seoul- and Los Angeles-based Bound Entertainment (AppleTV+’s Dr. Brain), is teaming with YA author Marie Lu to develop a series adaptation of her dystopian fantasy novel, Legend.
The best-seller is the first of a trilogy and was originally published in 2011, going on to sell over 3M copies worldwide.

The two teenagers cross paths when Day becomes the suspect in a high-profile murder case.
Lu will be developing the series and writing the pilot in collaboration with Lindsay Sturman who will also serve as executive producer. Bound Entertainment...
