Produced by Silver Reel, in co-production with Night Train Media, the TV series is based on the New York Times best-selling Fallen novels by Lauren Kate, which have sold more than 11 million copies worldwide.
"FALLEN" follows Luce, a young woman whose actions will prove vital to the balance of good and evil. Luce has lived multiple lives and is destined each time to die as soon as she falls in love. When she is committed to Sword & Cross, a correctional facility for young criminals and outcasts, she meets Daniel, who becomes convinced he’s known Luce before. As they struggle to uncover the truth about the terrifying events that brought them both to Sword & Cross, they begin to piece together their past—not just from this lifetime, but from countless lifetimes before.
“This is a series of enormous scale and quality, based on IP with a proven track record of international success, so we are thrilled to be bringing it to viewers around the world. The amazing cast, under Matt and Claudia’s guidance, have created an incredible world where romance, fantasy and adventure combine for a thrilling ride,” says Herbert L.
