ABC is developing a drama series based on Liane Moriarty's novel The Hypnotist's Love Story. Deadline reported that the project "hails from Heather Graham (Half Magic), who co-stars and executive produces; writer Katie Wech (Jane the Virgin); ABC Studios; and studio-based Mandeville Television."
Graham "has been the driving force behind the project," Deadline added, noting that she "brought the book to Mandeville and ABC Studios after meeting with several producers. The pitch was then honed at the studio and sold to ABC."

The CW network is developing a series based on Oscar Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.” Variety reported that Dorian will be "a comedic spin on the classic story. It follows a woman who made a deal with the devil 50 years ago to remain young and has spent the subsequent decades living selfishly and without consequences. As the downsides of eternal youth finally land on her, Dorian is ready to grow up and age gracefully, but, to do so, she'll have to make amends for half a century of bad behavior."
Writer and executive producer Marisa Coughlan heads the project, with Len Goldstein also executive producing. Warner Bros. Television will produce.
