Rose Ayling-Ellis
Rose Ayling-Ellis is leading a TV adaptation of Will Dean‘s first Tuva Moodyson novel about a deaf journalist in development with Death in Paradise producer Red Planet Pictures.
The Strictly Come Dancing winner is also exec producing TUVA [working title], which is being forged as a six-part returning crime thriller version of Dean’s first novel in the series, Dark Pines. The TV series will move the action from Sweden to the UK.
In Dark Pines, Moodyson moves back to her hometown in the wilds of Scotland and finds herself working on a small-time local paper, desperate for a headline-breaking scoop. When a serial killer who has remained dormant for 20 years begins to kill again in the small community, she finds herself with a front-page story that could make her career, but will it lead to danger?

Former EastEnders star Ayling-Ellis became the first deaf winner of Strictly Come Dancing in 2021 and has since landed roles in the likes of ITV’s Code of Silence. She is also developing a comedy-drama about deaf women dating in London.
Ayling-Ellis is EPing TUVA with Belinda Campbell, Caroline Skinner and the show’s writer Charlotte Jones (The Halcyon).
“As soon as I read Charlotte’s scripts and then dived further into Will’s books, I just knew this was a role I wanted to play and a world I wanted to explore,” said Ayling-Ellis.
Red Planet has secured the rights to all novels in the Moodyson crime series. The Asacha Media Group-backed drama outfit is also working on adaptations of books by Louise Candlish and Anthony Johnston’s The Exphoria Code.
