Simu Liu to Star in "Seven Wonders" Series Adaptation

Amazon Prime Video is developing an action-adventure series adaptation of Ben Mezrich’s novel "Seven Wonders".

The project is headlined and executive produced by "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" star Simu Liu. 

It is scripted by Adam Cozad and directed by Justin Lin. 

The series hails from Lin’s Perfect Storm Entertainment, Beau Flynn’s Flynn Picture Company, and Universal Television, where Lin and Perfect Storm are under a deal.

"Seven Wonders" follows Dr. Nate Grady (Liu), a brilliant botanist-adventurer who teams up with the slippery international fixer Sloane Seydoux on a race to solve an ancient mystery tied to the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Liu executive produces alongside Cozad. Lin, Salvador Gatdula, and Andrew Schneider executive produce for Perfect Storm, along with Flynn via Flynn Picture Company. Scott Sheldon serves as co-executive producer.

 Universal TV, a division of Universal Studio Group, is the studio. The idea for Seven Wonders originated with Flynn and Mezrich, who developed the book together. 

Liu, former star of CBC and Netflix comedy series "Kim’s Convenience", became a global star with his role as the titular superhero in Marvel’s "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings". 

He’ll next be seen starring alongside Mark Wahlberg in the upcoming movie "Arthur the King".
