Amazon MGM in Final Talks to Acquire Film Rights to A.F. Steadman's TimeLess

Amazon MGM Studios is in final negotiations to acquire the film rights to TimeLess, the first novel in an upcoming sci-fi fantasy trilogy by A.F. Steadman, according to screenrant.com. The rights would be acquired along with United Artists and Heyday Films.

Scott Stuber and Nick Nesbitt will produce for United Artists, alongside David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford for Heyday Films. Steadman will serve as executive producer, with Annie McCreery supervising for United Artists.

The novel TimeLess is set for release on March 11, 2027. The trilogy was acquired by Simon & Schuster, which will publish in the US, UK, and Australia.

Steadman previously wrote the Skandar series, a middle-grade fantasy series that became the most popular children's fantasy series in the UK in the last 20 years.

Amazon MGM Studios' recent genre projects include the 2026 release Masters of the Universe, which succeeded with critics and on streaming despite an initially disappointing box office run, as well as an upcoming Highlander remake.
