Here's a rare piece of good news: Chelsea Kwakye and Ore Ogunbiyi's Taking Up Space, one of the titles published via Stormzy's #Merky Books, is going to be adapted for television.

Sid Gentle Films, the production company behind international super hit Killing Eve, bought the rights at auction and are reportedly already in talks with Kwakye and Ogunbiyi to get the ball rolling as soon as possible.

The book, which analyses diversity in the British education system, was written through the lens of Kwakye and Ogunbiyi's own experiences and was only the second book to be published through #Merky Books.

Sid Gentle Films said in a statement: "We are delighted to be working on this extraordinary manifesto for hope with Chelsea and Ore. The world they illuminate is full of potential for creating bold and breakthrough characters in a setting few have seen. This is really exciting."

Kwakye and Ogunbiyi added: "We are so incredibly excited to be working with Sid Gentle Films. They have a strong understanding of the core themes of Taking Up Space and are committed to bringing them to life on screen. This is a real dream come true."

Taking Up Space is out now on hardback with a paperback edition due at the end of this month, February 2020.
