Clare Mackintosh's New Thriller 'It's Not What You Think' Set for TV Adaptation by 'Death In Paradise' Producer

Bestselling crime author Clare Mackintosh’s upcoming novel, ‘It’s Not What You Think,’ is slated for a television adaptation after Fremantle’s Red Planet Pictures secured the rights in a competitive auction. Red Planet, known for hits like ‘Death In Paradise,’ has tapped writer Kam Odedra (‘Hijack,’ ‘Lupin’) to pen the script. This move capitalizes on the booming trend of adapting popular books for screen, leveraging Mackintosh’s established audience and storytelling prowess. Odedra’s experience in crafting suspenseful dramas suggests a faithful yet engaging translation of Mackintosh’s signature twists and psychological depth. While plot details are scarce, the adaptation promises to explore themes of deception and hidden truths, aligning with Mackintosh’s previous successful thrillers. The partnership signals a high-quality production poised to become a significant addition to the television crime drama genre, with fans eagerly awaiting further details on its development and release.
