In what was referred to as "a competitive situation," the AMC network bought Dietland, a drama series from Skydance Television based on the 2015 novel by Sarai Walker, Deadline reported. Written and executive produced by Marti Noxon, the project is being put on a straight-to-series track by AMC "under its model that involves the opening of a writers room for a series production order consideration."
Noxon will write, showrun and serve as an executive produce alongside Skydance's David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Marcy Ross as well as Maria Grasso of Noxon's Tiny Pyro, and Bonnie Curtis and Julie Lynn of Mockingbird Pictures.
