Bruna Papandrea and Made Up Stories are developing J.P. Pomare's novel 17 Years Later into a TV series. Deadline reported that the project will be directed and executive-produced by John Polson (Elementary), with Pam Veasey (CSI: NY) serving as writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Papandrea (Big Little Lies) will also exec produce alongside Steve Hutensky, Casey Haver, and Katie Amos for Made Up Stories (The Undoing).
Pomare said, "I have long admired Bruna Papandrea and I'm particularly excited about the prospect of my work taking place beside some of my favorite shows and films. I could not be happier to have Pam Veasey attached given her immense contribution to the industry over three decades. I'm looking forward to seeing how the project evolves and am grateful to everyone who's believed in this story from the beginning."
Made Up Stories commented: "We read so many mysteries, it's so rare and thrilling to come across something that had us guessing and gasping until the very end. And to partner with Pam Veasey and John Polson again is just a dream, we're so excited for their vision of the show set in the U.S. and can't wait for this team to bring 17 Years Later to life."
