Osun Group production company has optioned its first book, The Catch by Yrsa Daley-Ward, who will be making her TV screenwriting debut adapting the novel, a "supernatural thriller exploring sisterhood, identity, and the radical act of choosing yourself," Deadline reported
Sheila Nortley, Osun's head of drama who first worked with Daley-Ward on the 2011 indie feature David Is Dying and struck the new option agreement, called The Catch "both vast and otherworldly, yet so deeply intimate and tragically human. Yrsa's storytelling has a way of getting under the skin and holding a mirror up to our most uncomfortable truths. To have such a bold and inventive novel as our first scripted adaptation at Osun Group is both an honor and a statement of intent. I can't wait to bring it to the screen."
Daley-Ward commented: "The Catch asks, 'What if the person you fear most and the person you long for most were the same?' I've often wondered what it would be like to meet my mother again, not as she was, but as I am. The TV adaptation takes that unsettling question and spins it into an edgy, psychological suspense about family, obsession, and the terror of recognition."
