Set during the Californian Gold Rush of the mid-19th century, How Much of These Hills is Gold follows two Chinese-American siblings as they carry the body of their newly deceased father across harsh landscapes to give him a proper burial.

Hansol Jung (Tales of the City, Pachinko) will write the series adaptation, which will be exec produced by Anita Gou (The Farewell, Honey Boy) of LA prodco Kindred Spirit; Joseph Tsai and Arthur Wang of Hong Kong- and London-based media investment firm 127 Wall Productions; and The Ink Factory’s Stephen Cornwell, Simon Cornwell and Katherine Butler.

Launched in 2010, The Ink Factory is best known for its adaptations of works by late author John Le Carré, the father of company founders Stephen and Simon Cornwell.

Butler, creative director at The Ink Factory, said: “We fell in love at first read with Pam’s stunning novel, which combines an epic revisionist sweep with moving and intimate portraits of its two young protagonists.

“How Much of These Hills is Gold is a compellingly told story of the American West from a culturally, socially and gender-identity-diverse perspective, and we feel hugely privileged to be adapting it with our amazingly talented screenwriter Hansol Jung and the brilliant Anita Gou, whose work we love.”
