Article is new enough end long enough. It is neutral, well sourced and I found no evidence of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. The hook's length is fine and it is broadly interesting but I am not sure it is accurate. Unless I am mistaken, the source provided does not say that Netflix took over in 2020, only that the director was signed in 2020. Netflix might have taken over much earlier. In addition, I would have found the fact that a seven figure deal was struck for a debut book, before the book was even published, much more interesting. Fewer than five credits so exempt from QPQ. --Muhandes (talk) 09:22, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

:*ALT1: ... that a seven-figure deal was made for Soman Chainani's debut book The School for Good and Evil to make a film adaptation just 11 days after the book's publication? Source: Second source above @Muhandes: Per your suggestion, I've rewritten the hook with the fact of the seven-figure deal.

@Pamzeis: That's much better, but where does "11 days" come from?If it's based on the dates in the source, May 14 to May 23 is nine days, and we don't know exactly the date of auction. How about "less than two weeks after"? --Muhandes (talk) 16:41, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
