Variety

ABC announced this morning it has acquired the rights to Mitchell Zuckoff’s 2019 book Fall and Rise: The Story of 9/11, a moment-to-moment re-creation of the events of 9/11 attacks, with plans to develop it as a limited series to mark the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks in 2021. The book "chronicles the stories of those who were lost, saved and forever altered by the most heinous acts of terrorism on American soil." Zuckoff says of ABC acquiring his book: "I can’t imagine a more perfect home for this project. “On 9/11, millions of people learned about the attacks by turning to ABC. I have complete faith that the network will enable us to bring new and enhanced life to the stories I was privileged to tell in Fall and Rise.”
