The Last Symbol is the third Brown novel featuring the character of Langdon, following Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code, and is set after the events of Da Vinci Code. CBS Studios, where Imagine TV has a first-look deal, and Universal TV, part of Universal Studio Group, co-produce. Written by Dan Dworkin and Jay Beattie, Dan Brown’s Langdon follows the early adventures of famed Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Zukerman), who must solve a series of deadly puzzles to save his kidnapped mentor and thwart a chilling global conspiracy.ĭworkin and Beattie executive produce with Brown and Imagine’s Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Samie Kim Falvey and Anna Culp. “Our ability to pick up a great show is no longer limited by the confines of a network schedule, giving us the freedom to say ‘yes’ to shows we love and then find them the perfect home across our portfolio.” “The team was blown away by this pilot and its enormous potential to become a big, binge-worthy hit, and our new structure enables us to move it to Peacock and give it every opportunity to make that happen,” said Rovner. (Of the three, American Auto and Grand Crew were went to series, both at NBC.) This is the first major cross-division pickup since Rovner joined NBCU though I hear she and her team also considered NBC’s three 2020 comedy pilots for both the broadcast network and Peacock. Langdon’s pickup by Peacock illustrates the integration of NBCU’s entertainment portfolio under Susan Rovner, Chairman, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming.

It was one of two 2020 drama pilots which NBC committed to filming last summer the other Original Joe, remains in strong contention, I hear.

The Ashley Zukerman-starring Dan Brown’s Langdon, produced by CBS Studios, Imagine Television Studios and Universal Television, was originally developed by NBC and was ordered to pilot by the network last year.
