Paramount Pictures will adapt Tracy Flick Can't Win, a new film for Paramount+ based on Tom Perrotta's latest novel. The project is a sequel to the 1999 film Election, an adaptation of Perrota's 1998 novel. Reese Witherspoon reprises her starring role as Tracy Flick, with Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendants, Nebraska) returning to direct and co-write (with Jim Taylor) the screenplay.
Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter are producing for Hello Sunshine, alongside Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa of Bona Fide Productions. Perrotta is executive producing. Tracy Flick Can't Win was published by Scribner earlier this year.
