The network has not yet commented on whether or not it has picked up the show, but the storyline sounds riveting. Who Fears Death won the 2011 World Fantasy Award, Vice notes, and is admired for its blend of science fiction and fantasy. It has been described by the Washington Post as “both wondrously magical and terribly realistic.”
