Heyday Television has acquired adaptation rights to Gillian McAllister's novel Just Another Missing Person. Deadline reported that after what has been described as a "highly competitive situation," British screenwriter Georgia Pritchett (Succession, Veep) will adapt the story for TV.
Heyday founder and Academy Award-nominated producer David Heyman (the Harry Potter films, Barbie, Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood) is executive producing along with Pritchett, McAllister and Sue Gibbs.
"I'm so honored that the superlative Heyday Television, Universal International Studios and Georgia Pritchett have teamed up to work on the adaptation of Just Another Missing Person," McAllister said. "Truly, sometimes I think I am dreaming."
Heyman added: "Gillian McAllister is an extraordinary storyteller, and Just Another Missing Person is a shining example of exactly. It's a provocative and gripping thriller filled with emotionally engaging characters, deliciously complicated relationships and shocking twists. Just Another Missing Person is a story that stays with you long after the final page and Georgia Pritchett is the perfect screenwriter to bring it to life as a thrilling premium TV series."
