Bill Clinton is heading to show business after his first novel The President is Missing (co-written with James Patterson) is getting picked up by Showtime to adapt into a series.

The novel is set to be published in 2018, and already it’s getting great feedback. The story follows a sitting U.S. president’s mysterious disappearance— obviously, seeing as Bill was once president, he knows all the secret “how to’s.”

Bill and James did a 16-meeting tour around Hollywood searching for the right outlet to produce, Entertainment Weekly reports. CBS chairman and CEO Leslie Moonves personally helped to make the deal.

“Bringing The President Is Missing to Showtime is a coup of the highest order,” said Showtime president and CEO David Nevins. “The pairing of President Clinton with fiction’s most gripping storyteller promises a kinetic experience, one that the book world has salivated over for months and that now will dovetail perfectly into a politically relevant, character-based action series for our network.”

Bill said in a statement: “I’m really enjoying writing this book and working with Jim. And I can’t wait to see Showtime bring the characters to life.”

James Patterson, who is a legendary author in his own right, said: “The White House is such an exciting world to explore and is made even more so with the unique insights of a former President. Rich storytelling opportunities for this series abound.”
