NBC Greenlights Robert Langdon Series Based on Dan Brown's 'Da Vinci Code' Book Series

Robert Langdon is getting his very own television series.

Deadline reports that the Dan Brown character from “The Da Vinci Code” book series will be the focus of a brand new television series on NBC.

Langdon is said to be a prequel to the popular movie franchise, focusing on a younger Robert Langdon to change the timeline in the novels.

The series, based on “The Lost Symbol”, would center on the early adventures of the Harvard symbologist, who must solve a series of deadly puzzles to save his kidnapped mentor and thwart a chilling global conspiracy.

Tom Hanks starred as the character in The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons on the big screen.
