Steve Lightfoot Developing ‘The String Diaries’ TV Adaptation With ‘Geek Girl’ Producer RubyRock & Sony Studios
Steve Lightfoot is developing 'The String Diaries' For TV With 'Geek Girl' producer RubyRock and Sony Studios.
Lloyd Jones’ debut extends from the present day to Oxford in the 1970s to Hungary at the turn of the 19th century, tracing back to a man from an ancient royal family with a consuming passion. Far more immediately for RubyRock is Netflix’s Geek Girl, the adaptation of Holly Smale’s first novel in a book series about a neurodivergent teen model, which has been made with Canada’s Waterside Studios and Aircraft Pictures and will launch on May 30. Geek Girl could be a big leap forwards for neurodivergent representation on TV but Rocha said the creators were at pains to make sure the protagonist’s autism was incidental to the plot, while script consultants helped ensure they didn’t “lean into stereotypes or do anything reductive.”
