YES.

There's plenty of remakes, adaptations and spin-offs hitting the big (and small) screens at the moment. But the news that Hidden Figures is become a television series is something we're definitely excited about. According to Variety, a TV adaption of the Oscar-nominated movie is in the early stages of development at National Geographic. Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping of Chernin Entertainment, both of whom were executive producers on the movie, would return in the same role for the project. National Geographic will also produce, in their continued push for scripted content. The movie was based on the book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly. It told the true story of Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughn and Mary Jackson - three black female mathematicians who were instrumental in the creation of the American space programme in the 1960s. Taraji P Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe starred in the three title roles. Meanwhile, Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, and Jim Parsons also featured in the film. Basically, it would be some kind of crossover dream. The movie became a smash hit when it was released in 2016. It was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and grossed more than $235 million across the globe.
