Swedish authors Sven Carlsson and Jonas Leijonhufvud have made a splash with their book ‘Spotify Inifrån’ (‘Spotify Untold’), which promised to tell the inside story of Spotify’s rise to power. Now that book could be heading to the small screen.
TV firm Yellow Bird UK, which is part of production giant Banijay Group, has optioned the screen rights to the book, and is developing it into a ‘limited series’. We’re enjoying reading out the press release to ourselves using a suitably booming, gravelly film-trailer voice:
“Based on tell-all-book, Spotify Untold, the drama will examine how a secretive start-up wooed record companies, shook the music industry to its core, and conquered Wall Street. A tale of tech entrepreneurship, this is a journey beset with egos, obstacles, and betrayal.”
