Published in 2018, ''The Overstory'' tells the story of a world alongside ours that is vast, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. A handful of disparate people learn how to see that world and are drawn into its unfolding catastrophe.

Richard Robbins has penned the pilot script and also executive produces the show.

''The Overstory'' series will be Benioff and Weiss' third Netflix project after an adaptation of Liu Cixin's sci-fi trilogy ''The Remembrance of Earth's Past'' and ''The Chair'', a six-part comedy series from showrunner Amanda Peet.
