Warner Bros. has acquired the rights to Tahereh Mafi’s bestselling dystopian YA series “Shatter Me.”

The movie deal aligns with the 15th anniversary of the debut of “Shatter Me,” the first book in the original series, which has become a BookTok phenomenon with over 15 million copies sold worldwide and more than 500,000 social posts with related hashtags. “Shatter Me” centers on Juliette Ferrars, a teenage girl with a lethal touch, as she takes on an oppressive totalitarian government called The Reestablishment. The series, a synopsis explains, follows Juliette’s journey as she “discovers her power, finds strength and navigates a dystopian world of romance and rebellion.”
