ANNOUNCEMENT from Ian Fleming Publications:

The teenage James Bond returns in a brand-new full-cast audio drama from Big Finish Productions – beginning in September 2026 with an adaptation of “SilverFin” (2005) by Charlie Higson.

Ian Fleming Publications Ltd and Big Finish Productions are pleased to announce Young Bond, a new range of full-cast audio dramas, bringing the teenage years of Ian Fleming’s legendary secret agent to life in cinematic sound.

The Young Bond audio adventures will be released as a series of digital download-to-own and collector’s edition CD box sets, exclusively from bigfinish.com and ianflemingshop.com.

This brand-new series is adapted from the previously published Young Bond novels, reimagined for audio as cinematic, full-cast audio drama. The range will begin with an adaptation of “SilverFin” by Charlie Higson, the first Young Bond novel (originally published in 2005). Charlie Higson is also involved as a consultant on the series.

Further details, including the launch date, will be announced in due course.

Big Finish will soon be casting the roles of James Bond and Wilder Lawless and is inviting approaches from actors’ representatives only. Details of the roles and the types of actors being sought will be published on youngbondadventures.com.

JAMES BOND
“(English accent – RP) (M, 13 years old) A young spy in the making. A new student at Eton College in 1933, James is mature for his age but still just a boy with a boy’s view of the world. Initially awed by his intimidating new school, James quickly makes friends, stands up to bullies, and gathers the resolve he needs to face a rogue’s gallery of sinister villains. Tough, danger-loving with a strong sense of right and wrong, and a streak of dry wit.

Looking for an actor aged 18 or over.

Please note that we are intending to adapt further novels in the Young Bond series, and it is therefore our intention to keep the same young actor as Bond ages from 13 to 15.”
