Another small screen adaptation of a Kristin Hannah novel is officially underway.
Multiple outlets report that Netflix has put out a straight-to-series order for 10 episodes of Firefly Lane, based on the best-selling novel of the same title. The Firefly adaptation follows two other adaptations based on Hannah’s novels, The Nightingale and The Great Alone at TriStar Pictures.
Penning the script is Maggie Friedman. She will also serve as showrunner and executive producer alongside Stephanie Germain. Hannah will co-executive produce.
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.
