Tony Parsons’ novel Your Neighbour’s Wife is being eyed for adaptation.
U.K. screenwriters Rebecca Pollock and Kas Graham are attached to write the serial, which is being described as a “propulsive erotic thriller.” The book, which dropped in 2021, follows Tara Carver — a happily married mother who finds herself willing to go to extremes when a one-night stand reveals himself to be a manipulative stalker.
A+E Media Group, Stockholm Syndrome and Endor Productions are partnering on the project, which has yet to be placed at a platform, and will be taking it to market shortly. “A+E Media Group is thrilled to be working with Kas, Rebecca and our wonderful partners at Stockholm Syndrome and Endor to develop a bingeworthy new series based on Tony’s acclaimed IP,” said Alexandra Finlay, A+E Media Group VP of scripted international co-productions.
Parsons, a journalist who’s written for NME, The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mirror and The Sun, is perhaps best known for his series of detective books following the character Max Wolfe — though his only previous work to successfully be adapted was 1999 novel Man and Boy.
Pollock and Graham don’t have a great deal of credits, though their feature screenplay Betty Ford made the 2019 Black List.
