Omid Scobie’s Buckingham Palace Book ‘Royal Spin’ Lands At Universal TV For Series Development With Writer Emily Fox


Following a bidding war, Universal Television has acquired the rights to Omid Scobie and Robin Benway's Royal Spin book for series development.

Marking Scobie’s fiction debut, Royal Spin is a fish-out-of-water workplace drama which follows an American press agent who leaves behind her high-octane career in D.C. for a communications job at Buckingham Palace. “No show or book has ever gone inside the frenzied world of the Buckingham Palace press office, and we can’t wait to throw Lauren—our young American protagonist fresh from the White House communications team—into the deep end of it.” Fox’s writing and producing credits include Freeform’s The Watchful Eye, VH1’s Hindsight, Bravo’s Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce, NBC’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, Netflix’s Daybreak and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events and the Warner Bros. film New York Minute.
