After the massive success of "Westworld", creators Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan are set to venture in the sci-fi universe again with the adaptation of "The Peripheral" for Amazon Studios.
The novel focuses on the character of Flynne Fisher, who lives in near-future America. Fisher subs in for her brother, a cyber-enhanced combat veteran who now works security in a virtual world for the Milagros Coldiron company, reported Entertainment Weekly.
Nolan and Joy will executive produce the project along with scriptwriter Scott Smith, Steve Hoban, and Athena Wickham.
Vincenzo Natali, who directed the "Dissonance Theory" episode of "Westworld" in the season one, will direct the pilot as well as executive produce.
The project will also be produced by Kilter Films in association with Warner Bros Television and Amazon Studios.
Season 2 of "Westworld" is set to arrive on April 22.
