Award Winning Author Juno Dawson’s Irreverent and Entertaining MEAT MARKET has been acquired by Unstoppable Film & TV

Juno Dawson, the multi award-winning author, has had the rights to her next novel, ‘Meat Market’, acquired by Unstoppable Film & Television.

‘Meat Market’ follows Jana Novak, a 16-year-old girl of Serbian descent, as she is catapulted from her South London council estate roots to international stardom as a model. The book was written following two years extensive research by Dawson into the fashion industry. Dawson will adapt the work for TV, a first for her, after several adaptations of her work, including 'The Gender Games'

Noel Clarke and Jason Maza, directors of Unstoppable added “Meat Market is an irreverent, entertaining and funny story that also tackles the huge contemporary themes of #MeToo and the hyper sexualisation of girls. We were instantly drawn to the story itself and to the power of Juno’s writing, which has great warmth and humour even when she takes us to dangerous places. Juno’s research gives the story absolute authenticity and it is ideal to adapt as a returning series for television.”
