It appears that several more of superstar author J.K. Rowling's novels will be adapted into visual entertainment. However, her series of detective novels will not appear in theaters, but instead on the small screen, according to BBC.

Written under the pen name Robert Galbraith, "The Cuckoo's Calling" and "The Silkworm" will form the basis of the television series. The "Harry Potter" author is said to helping develop the show. BBC said it was a "coup" to secure the rights to the books and much of the filming details for the series have yet to be determined.

It is not yet clear when the show will air, nor has there been discussion on the number of episodes that will be in the series. However, it is for certain that the crime drama will center on the life and work of private detective Cormoran Strike.

"It's a wonderful coup for BBC TV to be bringing J.K. Rowling's latest books to the screen," BBC director of television Danny Cohen said. "With the rich character of Cormoran Strike at their heart, these dramas will be event television across the world."

The BBC Network, working with U.S. broadcaster HBO, already secured and produced a small screen version of Rowling's "A Casual Vacancy," which is set to air next February.

The production company Bronte Films, which made the mini-series, will also be in charge for the upcoming crime series.

Rowling's novels were revealed to have been penned by the famed author last year, immediately shooting "The Cuckoo's Calling" onto best-sellers' lists, just three months after it was published. She said the experience of writing under an unknown male pseudonym had been "liberating" but had tried and hoped to "keep this secret a little longer."

At the Harrogate Crime Writing Festival over the summer, the author revealed that this series would be open-ended and would produce more than the seven she wrote in the Harry Potter series.

"It's not seven. It's more. It's pretty open ended," she said, adding that she had begun work on the plot of the fourth book.
