Dan Brown's new book is coming out next week, and it's great news for fans of his Robert Langdon series. It's been eight years since the last installment in the series (Origin), which is the longest break between books Brown has had since he first published Angels and Demons back in the early 2000s. The new novel, titled Secret of Secrets, is set to release on September 9. You can currently preorder the upcoming book for a discount at Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
For those who haven't read the books, you'll likely recognize the name Robert Langdon from Tom Hanks' portrayal of the character in the hit film adaptation of The Da Vinci Code. Hanks also played the character in two more follow-up films based on the novels, Angels & Demons and Inferno. The most recent interpretation of the character was by Ashley Zukerman, who played the titular Symbology professor in 2021's The Lost Symbol TV series (before it was cancelled at Peacock).
Despite a lack of news about Dan Brown's previous Robert Langdon novel receiving any sort of adaptation, Netflix announced in May that The Secret of Secrets will be getting a new TV series. The new take on the iconic series will be led by showrunner Carlton Cuse, who is known for his work on popular shows like Lost, Bates Motel, and The Strain. An actor has yet to be chosen for the role of Robert Langdon and a release date has yet to be announced.
