The series has been in development at Amazon since early 2018, but it's only now getting the go-ahead. Joy and Nolan both signed a larger deal with Amazon in April. Other executive producers include Westworld's Athena Wickham as well as In the Tall Grass veterans Steven Hoban and Vincenzo Natali.

This isn't the Neuromancer show you might have hoped for, and there are numerous unknowns like the cast or release date. The combination of Gibson and Westworld alumni is still promising. If nothing else, it suggests the Amazon series will tackle Gibson's world building and idea-driven storytelling with some degree of seriousness.
