It all started when author <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kieracass\/status\/1470473612708753413\">Kiera Cass<\/a> tweeted about getting off of a &#8220;very positive phone call&#8221; with Netflix, and now all of our timelines are awash in pastel gowns, red-headed girls, and pleas to Netflix in Portuguese (I still haven&#8217;t quite cracked the code on this one, but Cass seems to be very popular with people who speak Portuguese). The hashtag <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mobile.twitter.com\/hashtag\/NetflixGreenLightTheSelection?src=hashtag_click\">#NetflixGreenlightTheSelection<\/a> is popping off all over Twitter and if you&#8217;re feeling very lost, alone, and confused, don&#8217;t worry, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n<p>So, let&#8217;s get into it. &#8220;The Selection&#8221; is a dystopian YA romance novel that was written by the aforementioned author Kiera Cass and published in 2012. It was quickly followed up with a handful of sequels including &#8220;The Elite&#8221; in 2013, &#8220;The One&#8221; in 2014, &#8220;The Heir&#8221; in 2015, and &#8220;The Crown&#8221; in 2016. The story follows the beautiful, young, red-headed America Singer (a bonkers name I will absolutely never be able to get out of my head). America lives in a dystopian society that has been sectioned off into castes from the &#8220;Ones&#8221; (i.e. rich people) to the &#8220;Eights&#8221; (i.e. poor people.) Against her better judgment, she enters into a contest called The Selection, which pits thirty-four girls against each other in a bid to win a prince&#8217;s heart and become royalty in their upsetting society. Lurking off in the distance are rebels who aren&#8217;t into all of the castes and the marriage competition, but they&#8217;re kind of secondary, the main draw is the romance with rules<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that the first book in the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> was published almost ten years ago, &#8220;The Selection&#8221; is the type of novel that has found a new life on BookTok and other reading recommendation platforms. It combines the dystopian aspects of &#8220;The Hunger <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>s,&#8221; &#8220;Uglies,&#8221; and &#8220;The Bachelor&#8221; with the romance of &#8220;The Bachelor&#8221; and also the vapidness of &#8220;The Bachelor&#8221; and the pretty dresses of &#8220;The Bachelor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Now_We_Already_Have_The_Bachelor\"><\/span>Why Now?

It&#8217;s just a way of saying that &#8220;The Selection&#8221; is an easy read to recommend. It&#8217;s a multi-genre book that could satisfy a romance novel fan, a dystopia fan, and\/or possibly even a fantasy fan with its de<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a>ions of ballgowns, castles, and princes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This book, and others like it, fall into multiple categories and tend to make up many of the titles that are recommended online. Which is actually one of the reasons I think books with multiple narrators are so popular right now. If you can throw the audience into the head of a few different characters with various things going on, then you can draw more folks in. But that&#8217;s a pet theory and it&#8217;s beside the point.<\/p>\n<p>Due to its popularity and glamorous aesthetic, this isn&#8217;t the first time that &#8220;The Selection&#8221; has had a brush with adaptation. The series was headed to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/upfronts-2012-cw-redeveloping-selection-hunger-games-326159\/\">The CW in 2012<\/a>, where Aimee Teegarden (&#8220;Friday Night Lights&#8221;) was originally cast as America. In 2013, The CW <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2013\/02\/cw-pilot-the-selection-casts-its-lead-437692\/\">gave it another go<\/a> and recast the role with Yael Grobglas (&#8220;Supergirl&#8221;) and then <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2013\/05\/the-selection-dead-at-the-cw-494372\/\">gave up<\/a> on the series entirely. A couple of years later in 2015, Warner Bros. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2015\/04\/the-selection-keira-cass-katie-lovejoy-warner-bros-1201413855\/\">bought the film rights<\/a> and hired Katie Lovejoy (&#8220;To All The Boys: Always and Forever&#8221;) to adapt the story. That project languished until <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2020\/film\/news\/netflix-the-selection-book-haifaa-al-mansour-kiera-cass-1234576457\/\">Variety reported in 2020<\/a> that Haifaa Al-Mansour (&#8220;Wadjda&#8221;) was working on a &#8220;Selection&#8221; film for Netflix.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the project is still in no man&#8217;s land if Cass has had to take to Twitter to revive her fans fervor, but stranger marketing tactics have worked in the past. Maybe by this time next year, we&#8217;ll all be dressing up as Ones and Eights for Halloween.<\/p>\n<p>Read this next: The Best Movies Of 2021 So Far<\/p>\n<p>The post What is The Selection, and Why Are People Clamoring For an Adaptation? appeared first on \/Film.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
