Chuck Palahniuk’s ‘Invisible Monsters’ Coming to TV

Invisible Monsters
Published by W. W. Norton Company

Chuck Palahniuk, author of the seminal Fight Club, is having another one of his books adapted for the small screen.

Invisible Monsters, Palahniuk’s novel about a beauty queen who is mutilated and becomes “invisible” to polite society, will be adapted for a TV series with Fabrik Entertainment and Jennifer Yale. Fabrik is responsible for content like Emmy-nominated The Killing, Bosch, and American Odyssey, among others. Yale is a writer for shows like Legion (a personal favorite), Dexter, and Outlander.

Fabrik CEO Henrik Bastin and President Meissa Aoute commented,

We are delighted to bring to life a book that has moved readers and built a devoted global following over the past two decades…This thrilling novel offers a rare combination of rich character work and shocking revelations that only Palahniuk can deliver, and in Jennifer Yale’s talented hands we are confident this will be an engaging, cinematic experience that will be sure to grab attention and make headlines.

Aside from Fight Club, Palahniuk’s other works have been made into different mediums. Like 2008’s Choke, starring Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston. Choke is about a man, Victor Mancini, who works a low level job, choking in high scale restaurants to receive cash from the people who save him in order to afford his mother’s expensive nursing home. Things change when it’s revealed to Victor that there may be a genetic link between him and Jesus of Nazareth.

Fight Club has also grown to include two graphic novel. Fight Club 2 takes place ten years after “Project Mayhem,” and focuses on the nameless protagonist from the first novel. Though he is living the average American life, taking pills to keep the people and thoughts at bay, he ends up back in the situation that brought on Fight Club.

Fight Club 3 focuses on Marla as she prepares to give birth to her second child. If you know the story, you know she’s married to the protagonist. Yet, the baby isn’t his. It’s Tyler Durden’s!

There are no other names associated with the announcement, as of yet. There is also no notification of what station it will be on or ETA.
