There's no official release date yet for "The Peripheral." Amazon has been publicly talking about adapting the book since 2018, just four years after it was released, but are only now filming it. According to The Citizen Times, "The Peripheral" filmed on location in London this Spring and will move to North Carolina in September, so fans can likely expect to watch it some time in 2022.
Notably, everyone is excited about the upcoming series not only because of the source material, but because Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, the creators of the wildly popular drama "Westworld," are at the helm. They're producing it with Amazon Studios and Warner Bros. Television.
Alongside them, in the director's chair, is Vincenzo Natali, who's directed a handful of episodes for many different series, including "Hannibal" and "Westworld," as well as having helmed movies like "Cube" and "Splice." Acting as showrunner is Greg Plageman, who's produced and written for a variety of procedurals, including "Law & Order." Finally, Scott B. Smith, who earned an Oscar nomination for his screenplay of 1998's thriller "A Simple Plan," is credited as creating and writing it (via Deadline).
