A television series based on the 2006 futuristic movie drama Children of Men is in the works. David Eick, executive producer of Battlestar Galactica, was reportedly developing a pilot script for the show.

Children of Men is a futuristic drama based on a 1992 novel by P.D. James. The year is 2027, and in a world where decades of infertility threaten the very existence of mankind, a cynical activist-turned-bureaucrat has the chance to prevent human extinction.

"It's really taking root more in the origins of the novels in that it will focus on the cultural movement in which young people become the society's utter focus...Much like our culture, whenever Lindsay Lohan does something [and] it becomes the headline of every news show, it's about how, when you don't have a responsibility to the next generation and you're free to do whatever you want, where do you draw the line?" Producer David Eick
