Made Up Stories To Adapt Sally Hepworth’s Crime Thriller Novel ‘Darling Girls’ For TV


Sally Hepworth novel 'Darling Girls' will get a TV adaptation after 'Nine Perfect Strangers' producer Made Up Stories optioned the book.

The crime novel, which became an instant bestseller in the U.S. and Hepworth’s native Australia upon release this year, is billed as “a page-turning thriller about sisterhood, secrets and murder.” The plot follows Jessica, Norah and Alicia, who return to the idyllic farming estate where they were raised by a loving foster mother when a body is discovered under the house. She and husband Hutensky are known as two of the key protagonists in the trend over the past decade, adapting books into series such as Nine Perfect Strangers, The Undoing and The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.
