The Mortal Instruments started as a best-selling YA series and then fizzled at the box office, but producers are hopeful it will be a hit on the small screen.
Constantin Film will start production on a high-end drama series based on the books in 2015, The Hollywood Reporter says. The company planned on turning The Mortal Instruments — a series of six fantasy novels written by Cassandra Clare — into a movie franchise, but those plans were scrapped after the first film brought in just $31 million domestically.
