Following hit series like Off Campus and Every Year After, Prime Video continues to bring young adult fiction to its streaming platform. In this process, it has signed a development deal with new Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan under the name Outlier Society. However, the platform's biggest surprise has yet to come to fruition, and this project has the potential to take the internet by storm.
In 2021, bestselling author Charlie Jane Anders published her novel "Victories Greater Than Death." This work is the first book in what the author calls the "Unstoppable Trilogy." From the moment it was released, Outlier Society acquired the rights to this trilogy for Prime Video. The fact that this deal was made before the second and third books were even published shows the high expectations surrounding the project. In 2022, it was announced that former Breaking Bad writer Gennifer Hutchison joined the project as a showrunner. When the series reaches Prime Video, it is sure to capture the attention of sci-fi fans.
"Victories Greater Than Death" tells the story of Tina Mains, who appears to be an ordinary high school student. However, few know that Tina is actually the clone of the legendary space fleet captain Thaoh Argentian. Her friends cloned her using a DNA sample when she was a baby and left her in the care of a single human woman. On her 13th birthday, Tina learns about her origins and, at a certain point in her life, gains the chance to join the space fleet thanks to a signal device inside her.
When the signal device is activated, Tina and her best friend Rachael Townsend embark on an intergalactic adventure. On this journey, the fate of the universe is at stake, and as the girls form new friendships, they confront personal crises and embrace the heroes within themselves. The trilogy takes place on different planets, introduces new alien races, and presents a narrative filled with big ideas. Anders' characters ensure that readers are fully engaged in the story, each displaying a realistic approach to dealing with complex situations.
