The series will center around a skilled but troubled hacker named Case, who is forced into a dangerous world of digital espionage and high-stakes crime. Alongside his partner Molly, a professional assassin, Case will attempt to pull off a daring heist against a powerful corporate dynasty.
"Neuromancer" is considered to be one of the pioneering and highly regarded works in the cyberpunk genre and has received several prestigious awards, such as the Nebula Award, the Philip K. Dick Award, and the Hugo Award. The novel is the first book in the "Sprawl" trilogy and is followed by "Count Zero" and "Mona Lisa Overdrive."
The show will be created for television by Graham Roland, known for his work on "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan" and "Dark Winds," and JD Dillard, who has previously worked on "Devotion," "The Outsider," and "Sleight." Roland will be the showrunner, and Dillard is set to direct the pilot episode.
"We're incredibly excited to be bringing this iconic property to Apple TV+," said Roland and Dillard.
"Since we became friends nearly 10 years ago, we've looked for something to team up on, so this collaboration marks a dream come true. 'Neuromancer' has inspired so much of the science fiction that's come after it and we're looking forward to bringing television audiences into Gibson's definitive 'cyberpunk' world."
The series will join other sci-fi powerhouses on Apple TV+, such as "Foundation," "Invasion," and upcoming series "Constellation."

He worked directly with the team on the Peripheral, and it was really good. Looking forward to season 2.
Didn’t love Jack Ryan on prime, tho, hopefully this is better.
WAY stoked about this!
Unfortunately there will be many that will complain that a great story will be too slow because it was made by Michael Bay using a 1980s network sci-fi budget.
Neuromancer will look good just like Foundation or Dune and it will be better than Invasion which is by far the worst of the three.
So if the show is set in today's reality, but another 25 years in the future, a lot of the book's details will have to be modernized. All the mega prefixes will have to be changed to peta/exa prefixes. Landline phones? All gone. Japan didn't become the leading nation in programming, no orbital space colony. Russia? Hmm? Still mostly the same given recent events? Might lose its charm. But, today's technology has some nice intersection with what is in the book. Would be interesting.
