A new adaptation of William Hjortsberg’s 1978 novel Falling Angel, which was famously turned into the Robert De Niro-starring neo-noir horror movie Angel Heart in 1987, is on the way from A24 and HBO. The television series will star Zac Efron.

Per Deadline, who broke the news, “Based on William Hjortsberg’s 1978 novel Falling Angel and the sequel Angel’s Inferno, the series will follow a down-and-out NYC paparazzi, who makes his living finding and photographing people who don’t want to be found. He is hired by a mysterious man to find a missing woman. But the deeper he digs to find her, the more it looks like a group of powerful elites, and maybe something supernatural, are covering up the disappearance.”

Creed III and Black Rabbit’s Zach Baylin is writing and executive producing, while Zac Efron will also executive produce. Jonathan van Tulleken, best known for directing several episodes of Shogun, is directing.

This marks the third project collaboration between Efron and A24, after 2023’s wrestling drama The Iron Claw. Next is the dark comedy Famous from director Jody Hill, in which Efron stars opposite Phoebe Dynevor.

Angel Heart does not yet have a planned release date. Stay tuned for updates as we hear.
