In 2012, Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment were originally going to produce a live-action film franchise based on Jonathan Stroud's book series.
The score was composed by Christopher Bauschinger with The Flight. The latter is known for videogame scores such as "Horizon: Forbidden West" and "Gotham Knights".
Ruby Strokes' Bridgerton (2020) costar Phoebe Dynevor stars in another Jonathan Stroud adaptation The Outlaws Scarlett & Browne.
