The BBC is developing a live-action television series based on Eiko Kadono's beloved novel, 'Kiki's Delivery Service.' This will mark the first live-action TV adaptation of the classic coming-of-age story, which was previously immortalized in Studio Ghibli's acclaimed 1989 anime film. The series will expand on Kadono's original narrative, bringing the tale of a young witch establishing her life in a new city to the small screen. According to io9, no casting or production timeline has been announced yet, but this marks an intriguing addition to the growing slate of live-action anime and manga adaptations in development.
