United Talent Agency and Janklow & Nesbit partner with Tomorrowland for fantasy fiction series

Premier literary agency Janklow & Nesbit to represent Tomorrowland in their first traditionally published work, an epic fantasy trilogy.

Wednesday, 22 June 2022 - Tomorrowland, known globally for their larger-than-life themed music festivals, are developing a series of fiction novels that further explore the fantastical Tomorrowland universe.

Paul Lucas of Janklow & Nesbit will represent Tomorrowland’s fiction series, with Jason Richman of United Talent Agency looking after book-to-screen rights.

Agent Paul Lucas said:“Tomorrowland is recognised internationally for its worldbuilding and has managed to successfully knit that unique magic together with their core values of unity, hope, love, nature and health in an enchanting first novel of a trilogy. I believe the series will captivate both fans of Tomorrowland, as well as finding a new audience in fantasy readers.”

UTA Partner & Co-Head of Media Rights Jason Richman said: “Tomorrowland has provided incredible experiences to festival-goers across the globe, and I am thrilled to partner with them to bring the energy and excitement of their festival and fantasy series to the screen.”

Tomorrowland founder Michiel Beers added:“Every year Tomorrowland presents a new festival theme, which comes to life via a beautiful trailer, at the legendary Mainstage and throughout the festival grounds. As the stories of each theme cannot be expressed fully during the festival, we have dreamt for years of taking more time to develop them. Three years ago we set up our Fiction department, where with a passionate team we bring to life the magical worlds and storylines of the Tomorrowland festival in novel form.

We are excited to enter into a partnership with Paul Lucas and be adopted into his all-star lineup of talent. Paul represents work of the highest calibre and shares our affection for great fantasy stories, so we can’t wait to take our first steps into publishing with him. We are delighted that Jason Richman will be taking the series’ book-to-screen rights under his wings as he is well-acquainted with the Tomorrowland DNA and an expert in his field at UTA. He is the perfect person to introduce the Tomorrowland magic to the wonderful world of movies and tv. After building a legacy of the biggest festival, we aim to build a legacy of storytelling and we look forward to sharing our stories with the world.”
