Prime Video is having a moment. It’s a moment that we’re not complaining about – rather we’re obsessed with. All of the book adaptations. Others should take note of how Prime Video is returning to the days of yearning.
Of course they’re understanding that with the success of Off Campus as well as Every Year After. Today, the not only announced the release date for The Love Hypothesis, they also dropped another bombshell. They have fastracked the series order for Lucy Score’s Things We Never Got Over.
The project comes from Ringer creators Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder. The two wrote the pilot as well as are serving as showrunners for the adaptation.
The premise, “runaway bride Naomi Witt heads from the altar straight into trouble when her estranged twin sister, Tina, calls her to small-town-Virginia, steals her car, phone, and purse and leaves Naomi stranded in an unfamiliar town with a teenage niece in her care and a grouchy but very sexy local who turns out to be her knight in tattooed armor.”
LUCY’S POST
“Pinch me. Actually don’t — I don’t want to wake up.” Score captioned her post, ” @AmazonMGMStudios has ordered Things We Never Got Over to series!! My characters are getting a whole @PrimeVideo show and I am somehow supposed to go about my day like a functioning human being.”
She continued, “Massive thank you to everyone who made this happen and to every single reader who loved Knockemout enough to get us here. This is yours too. 🧡”
PRIME SAYS
“Lucy Score has created the kind of romantic, emotional, and deeply addictive world that readers never want to leave,” said Peter Friedlander, Global Head of Television, Amazon MGM Studios. “Things We Never Got Over has everything audiences love about a great small-town romance—heart, humor, found family, undeniable chemistry, and characters you root for from the very first page. We’re thrilled to work with Lucy, Nicole, Eric, and Gina to bring Naomi’s story, and the beloved world of Knockemout, to Prime.”
We’re excited for this one. Hope you are too! Tell us – what book do you think should be adapted?
