Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has become one of the best selling novels of all time as well as the subject of intellectual debate among readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are published in 56 languages around the world with over 200 million copies in print. – USA Today Dan Brown is once again taking on the big questions: God and science and the future of the world. Origin is a familiar blend of travelogue, history, conspiracies and whodunit, with asides on everything from the poetry of William Blake to the rise and fall of fascism in Spain. Here's The Da Vinci Code movie franchise in chronological order. The Da Vinci Code was the second novel from author Dan Brown to feature his recurring protagonist Robert Langdon, the renowned 'symbologist.' The plot sees Langdon called in to investigate a murder at the Louvre that soon sees him on the run from the police, an albino assassin.
Hollywood is taking another stab at cracking the code of Dan Brown‘s bestselling Robert Langdon novels. The fictional Harvard “symbology” professor with an exceptionally bad hairdo is heading to the small screen in the form of a prequel series at NBC. Based on Brown’s thriller novel The Lost Symbol, the Langdon TV series will follow a young Robert Langdon during his early adventures as the world’s most prominent symbologist. Now, we’ll finally uncover the real mystery: Was Robert Langdon’s hair always that bad?
The Robert Langdon films are a series of American action-adventure mystery-thriller movies based on the novels written by Dan Brown, they center around the fictional character of Robert Langdon. Though based on the book series, the films have a different chronological order. Hanks played Langdon in the film adaptations of the Brown novels “The Da Vinci Code,” “Angels & Demons,” and “Inferno.” Howard directed all three films, which were all produced by Imagine.
Deadline broke the news that NBC has given a production commitment to Langdon, a drama series loosely based on Brown’s 2009 novel The Lost Symbol. The series is being written and executive produced by Daniel Cerone (Motive, Constantine) under Imagine Television Studios, the TV arm of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s Imagine Entertainment. Brown will also executive produce the Imagine TV, CBS TV and Universal TV co-production.
While The Last Symbol, Brown’s third novel featuring the character of Langdon, is set after the events of Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code, the NBC series is reimagining the story as a prequel, presumably with a young, handsome actor taking on the role originated by Tom Hanks in the 2006 film The Da Vinci Code. Hopefully with the same bizarre wig.

The Last Symbol was previously developed as a movie adaptation at Sony following Angels & Demons before the studio went with Inferno, the fourth book in Brown’s Robert Langdon series. Now the story has been conceived as a prequel with a potential to cover the events of even more of Brown’s books, the latest of which was 2017’s Origin.

My only question is: Why? Was anyone really hankering for a Robert Langdon TV series? The Da Vinci Code was a major box office hit, earning $217 million when it was released in 2006, but the series has only been a case of diminishing returns since then both financially and critically, with 2016’s Inferno barely scraping $34 million domestically and the worst reviews of the series at 23% on Rotten Tomatoes. But the TV landscape today has been all about recognizable IPs, and Robert Langdon certainly is a household name amongst the over-40 dad crowd. Though it’s unclear whether your dad will tune into Langdon if it’s not starring Tom Hanks.
Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Inferno made $34 million worldwide. It has been updated to reflect that that number was actually its domestic total.
