Talk about jumping the gun. The book won't even be released until 6 June 2017.
Of course nothing says a miniseries will follow the book.

I've been doing the movie/tv news for over ten years, and it's fairly common for movies, etc. to be based on upcoming books and novels. Publishers submit galleys of upcoming books to studios, directors, producers, etc. in order to see if they are interested in a movie/tv deal. Since Mark Bowden had great book and movie success with BLACK HAWK DOWN and he was involved as a writer in other Hollywood projects, I would think there would be a lot of Hollywood interest in any of his upcoming projects.
