A third Kristin Hannah novel is getting the television treatment.
Hannah, a best-selling author, has written more than 20 novels, three of which are currently being adapted to the small screen.
Deadline reports that Netflix has put out a straight-to-series order for 10 episodes of Firefly Lane, based on Hannah’s best-selling novel of the same title. This project follows two other adaptations based on Hannah’s novels, The Nightingale and The Great Alone at TriStar Pictures. Michelle MacLaren set to direct The Nightingale.
Firefly Lane follows Kate and Tully, two women who meet as young girls and become inseparable best friends through thirty years of ups and downs, successes and failures, depression and disappointments. When an unthinkable betrayal breaks them apart, the two women go their separate ways and it’s unclear whether they will ever be able to reconcile.
Maggie Friedman is set to write the script. She will also serve as showrunner and executive producer alongside Stephanie Germain. Hannah will co-executive produce.
