<h1>The Achebe family has confirmed a television adaptation of the iconic author's masterpieces 'Things Fall Apart', 'Arrow of God' and 'No Longer At Ease'.</h1>

According to a statement released by Chidi Achebe, Chinua Achebe's son, the family will collaborate with Dayo Ogunyemi of 234 Media and Seldner Media's Joe Seldner to develop the television series.

"The series will portray decades of wrenching societal change- from the end of the 19th century in 'Things Fall Apart', through the emerging 20th century in 'Arrow of God', and the mid-20th century pre-independence period in 'No Longer At Ease,' the statement read.

Confirming the TV adaptation, Christie Achebe shared: "We believe this moment makes the message of my husband's work urgent, especially for Millennials and Generation Z who are challenging systematic racism and driving the new civil rights movement. Chinua Achebe's recognition and centering of these issues from an African perspective make his stories more vital than ever."
