Conker Pictures Lands Hot Eloise Rodger Novel ‘Death’s A Bitch’
Following what was called “an incredibly competitive international process,” Kim Varvell and Tommy Bulfin’s production house will adapt the Eloise Rodger's debut novel Death's A Bitch into a TV series. The plan is to take the show to both the UK and international markets.
Eloise Rodger’s upcoming debut novel, which is due to publish in 2027, has been directing chatter in worldwide circles, leading to the auction.
Billed as a “coming-of-age novel with a high concept twist,” Death’s a Bitch comes from 22-year-old London-based writer Rodger, who wrote the book in her final year at Trinity College Dublin, where she was a scholar of English literature – a post that has previously been held by the likes of Samuel Beckett.

The book follows Aggie, whose younger sister, Marcie, has been unwell for over a year and on a never-ending waitlist. When Death offers Aggie a job that will allow Marcie to live, she readily accepts.
