Motive Pictures, the production company behind the upcoming series 'Young Sherlock,' is developing two new drama projects in collaboration with Booker Prize-winning author Marlon James. The company confirmed the development slate expansion to industry publication Deadline on March 24, 2026.
The partnership builds on a previous collaboration between Motive and James. The new projects are currently in early development, with specific plot details and titles yet to be announced.
To manage its growing portfolio, Motive Pictures has also bolstered its development team. The company is actively expanding its creative executive roster to oversee these and other forthcoming productions.
Marlon James, who won the 2015 Booker Prize for his novel 'A Brief History of Seven Killings,' has increasingly worked in television. His genre-bending work and narrative ambition are seen as key assets for the new Motive dramas.
