![The Messenger - Behind the Scenes
Writer and executive producer Sarah Lambert talks about the challenges of adapting a beloved novel into a new eight-part series for ABC - The Messenger.
Having worked together previously on the series Lambs of God, writer and executive producer Sarah Lambert and producer Jason Stephens knew they could adapt Markus Zusak’s acclaimed novel The Messenger into a TV series. The only problem was getting the rights.
“It was terrifying because he’d [Zusak] never given the rights to anyone,” Lambert reveals. “For twenty years, people have been trying to get this book. Americans, people all over the world wanted to get this book and so it was quite nerve-racking.”
In this behind-the-scenes video, Lambert discusses the generous collaboration she and the writing team had with Zusak, changes they made to the book for this series and why the production team decided to film the series in Lithgow.
The Messenger is airing weekly on ABC TV from 14th May 2023 and online on ABC iview.
