Amazon Adapts 'Crouching Tiger' for TV

Amazon Prime Video is developing a TV series adaptation of 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', based on the Crane-Iron Pentalogy by Wang Dulu, famously adapted by Ang Lee into an Oscar-winning film in 2000. The series will be written and executive produced by Jason Ning, known for 'Lucifer' and 'The Brothers Sun', and Ronald D. Moore, celebrated for 'Outlander' and 'Battlestar Galactica'. The story follows warriors Shu Lien and Mu Bai, caught between forbidden love and the pull of modernity. Sony Pictures Television is co-producing the project, with additional executive producers including Maril Davis, Johnny Levin, Roy Lee, and members of the Wang Dulu Estate. This adaptation could explore more of the multi-generational saga than the original film, offering a fresh take for TV audiences.
