Burns will adapt ‘Gene’ into PBS film

NEW YORK

Ken Burns is getting back into medicine. The documentarian has acquired the rights to make author Siddhartha Mukherjee’s book on molecular biology, “The Gene: An Intimate History,” into a series for PBS.

The Washington PBS station, WETA, announced the deal Thursday, including no public timetable for when it might get on the air.

Burns is assembling the same production team, led by Barak Goodman, that adapted Mukherjee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning “Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies” into a 2015 series.

“The Gene” details the science behind how traits are passed down.
