If you are a fan of Dan Brown and his Robert Langdon book series, there’s some good news as a brand-new TV adaptation is on its way! Dan Brown’s upcoming novel, The Secret of Secrets, is officially getting a TV series adaptation at Netflix!
The readers who love mysteries, thrillers, and adventures know who Dan Brown is and have read his high-octane Robert Langdon series. There is a reason why the book series is so popular, and continues to be popular even 25 years after the first book was published.
And Dan Brown is no stranger to getting book-to-screen adaptations because almost every book of his has been adapted for the big screen. The first two books and the fourth book in the series—Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, and Inferno—were made into movies starring Tom Hanks, while the third book, The Lost Symbol, got a TV adaptation.

The fifth book, Origin, never got an adaptation, and the reason might be that the book itself didn’t perform as well as the previous books.
However, Dan Brown is back in action as Netflix has landed the rights to adapt his upcoming thriller, The Secret of Secrets, featuring Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon. The most surprising part is that the book is still not released; it will be out in September 2025. However, Dan Brown is a big name in the thriller genre, so I guess Netflix’s decision to get the rights to adapt the book is not exactly a bad one!
So, when is the adaptation releasing, and what exactly is the plot of the series? Let’s discuss everything we know about the upcoming adaptation!
Dan Brown’s The Secret of Secrets TV Series Release Date:
As the book’s adaptation was announced by Netflix very recently, there is no release date for the project.
In fact, there won’t be a release date or even a release window revealed for some months at least. I guess the makers will wait for the book’s release first, and based on how well it performs, they might decide if it’s worth going forward with the adaptation or not.
That happens often when book adaptations are announced, but things don’t work out, and the project gets shelved.
It doesn’t seem like that would be the case with Dan Brown’s upcoming novel because he has a good track record and all his previous book-to-screen adaptations have performed exceptionally well, except one. So, there’s a very good chance that The Secret of Secrets TV series will happen!
However, the author and the showrunners will make further announcements on the project’s status only after the book is released. I don’t think we’ll get any update before that!
Who is Developing The Secret of Secrets TV Series?
The author, Dan Brown, is teaming up with Carlton Cuse, and they both will serve as co-creators, writers, and executive producers on the show.
Carlton Cuse, who has previously worked on Lost, Jack Ryan, and Locke and Key, will also serve as the showrunner for the adaptation!

The staffing for the project is also underway and will be revealed soon. As for the casting, no announcements have been made, and it’s still unclear if Tom Hanks will return to reprise his role as the legendary Robert Langdon!
What is the Plot of The Secret of Secrets?
Like all the previous Robert Langdon books, this newest addition promises high-octane action, which blends the technological aspects of today’s world with the ancient history and myths as the protagonist finds himself in the crosshairs of a powerful organization.
If you’ve read the previous book in the series by Dan Brown, you would know his writing style. The upcoming book will follow the same structure but promises to deliver more than you’d expect!
The author himself stated that The Secret of Secrets is “by far the most intricately plotted and ambitious book that I have ever written, and I also happen to think that it’s the most fun.” So, it looks like we readers are in for a wild ride!
Here’s what the official synopsis for the upcoming “The Secret of Secrets” book looks like:
Robert Langdon, esteemed professor of symbology, travels to Prague to attend a groundbreaking lecture by Katherine Solomon, a prominent noetic scientist with whom he has recently begun a relationship.
Katherine is on the verge of publishing an explosive book that contains startling discoveries about the nature of human consciousness and threatens to disrupt centuries of established belief. But a brutal murder catapults the trip into chaos, and Katherine suddenly disappears along with her manuscript.
Langdon finds himself targeted by a powerful organization and hunted by a chilling assailant sprung from Prague’s most ancient mythology. As the plot expands into London and New York, Langdon desperately searches for Katherine… and for answers.
In a thrilling race through the dual worlds of futuristic science and mystical lore, he uncovers a shocking truth about a secret project that will forever change the way we think about the human mind.
